Hart island Sept 10th 1864
Dear wife
I am quite well
this morning, I received thirty three dollars
& thirty cents of the government bounty
& I [enclosed] fourty dollars in a letter
last night & sent it this morning
by Patrick Shield he is to leave
it in the Bank of malone & you
can get it any time when you
want it. it is directed to Miss
Joseph Lafluer the 2. take good
care of this letter for you may have
to let the banker see it perhaps
you may want to leave it in
the bank for safe keeping till
you want to use it. I saw [Albert?]
[Norse?] this morning he was well
put your trust in god dear wife
and he will take care of you live
religion every day remember
--next page--
me in your prayer though I am
[surrounded] with [wicked] men I enjoy
my mind well the Lord is my
Shepherd & I am his. see that the
team is not used by any body in
the mud. see that the wagon be kept un-
der cover I would be glad to hear
from you but it is no use for you
to [write] to me till you hear from
me again for I [expect] leave this
place today give my respects
to all the folks So good [bye]
Joseph Lafluer
yours ever truly

Suffolk Apr 15th 1865 Wednesday
My Dearest wife
this may
inform you that I am yet alive
and well and it is very healthy
around here generally. I came in
from pickit yesterday morning and
I have got to go to the colonels
head quarters on guard to day. o how
thankful I am to think that I am
able to do my duty the clerk comes
in every morning to see if there is
any one that wants to go to sick
call, but I have never been to
a sick call yet. Thank the good
lord for it, and how thankful
I am to hear that my
family has got along as well
as they have since I left them
I suppose you have heard that the
president of the united states has
--next page--
been murdered before this time
most every loyal man is mourning
on the account of his death, but
he lived long enough to see the rebellion
nearly all put down, and slavery
put out of existence. I am glad
for that. I may not get home quite
as soon on that account, but I don't
know as it will make much differe-
nce as the vice president [seems]
to be going right on with the busi-
ness. I don't know as you could do any
better with the money than to hire
it out where you did you said that
you [were going] to [raise] the old cows
calf but it would be my mind
to kill it as we may have to
be moving next winter and
will not have much to feed it
perhaps you can get a young pig to
use up the milk and it will
be worth more next fall. you said
--next page--
that you had got the [fence] fixed across
the pasture but all the fence you
need to move and build was that near the
house and barn for the pasture all
belongs to us and quite a [stretch] on
[?] side but I do not expect to
get the use of it unless it is that
near the road but if he wants the
garden let him use it I mean
that near his well. I got a letter
from father and he said if you
wanted some jobs done he would try
and help you if he is able I hope
he is well but I do not think
it will be convenient for him to
help you much but I hope you can
get some one to plow your garden
in good season so you can make
it at your [leisure] perhaps you
can get the rest of the plow land
plowed sometime about the latter
part of May and have it sowed to
--next page--
oats or black [?] wheat. I am in hopes
I can get home time enough to do the
haying but I may be disappointed
how does your sheep look this spring
you never say any thing about them
but no matter, how does Rosey and
Ephraim get along I hope they are well
any how, and I hope you are all well
have you turned out the horses yet
or not well you must turn
them out as soon as you think
it will do. if they should run
down some they will soon pick
up their crumbs again when the
grass gets good but you must
take good care of your cows how
are your cows doing now I hope you
will write often as you can and I will do
the same be [patient] the time
[will] soon pass away trust in
[the] Lord always for in him is
our strength I have some very
good times here talking with some
Christian people and with some ungod-
ly men the Lord helps me all the time
may he guide and direct us all by his
spirit
I remain your affectionate husband
