Letter from Sarah E. Andrews to James A. Andrews, June 25, 1865
Hudson, Wis.

June 25th

No. 89

Dear Brother,

I feel as if you and Charlie had been very much neglected of late, you know how very busy we have been. I am in hopes when Mother gets started we shall get somewhat rested and will feel more in the spirit of writing. I do not feel as well as I thought I should -- perhaps when my mouth gets well I shall be better. I heard the other day the 44th Reg. was in Madison waiting to be mustered out. I did not believe it although I should have liked to. It will be nine months Tuesday since you were mustered in. If Uncle Sam does not let you come home before your time is out, he can not keep you but three months longer.

Frank Comstock is here (Uncle Luther's boy) -- perhaps you remember when you were a little boy his mother having him at our house, his lying on the floor kicking and screaming. You left the room very quietly and soon came back with a stick and handed it to his mother.

He is talking of going into the printing office. Charlie seems to be very contented without his Mother and Nellie. He is a very good boy. We had two letters from Charlie Friday. He says he thinks they will stay there all summer. He wants to.

From Sister Sarah
