The letter:

To have such a true and devoted friend is indeed a gift from God and I thank Him for it daily. ... Don't be anxious about me, I tell you openly all, so that you need not worry. I am careful, and rest all day and miss your dear company more than I can say. For your precious letter from the frontier a hearty kiss and many thanks. Your words of tender love did me much good.
