phila [Philadelphia?]

I have changed my
address again as you see

My Dear Maggie
Just a line to let
you know I am
living and that
is about all, I
was very glad to
hear you were in
receipt of a young
son. I hope he
will grow up as
good a man as his
Father and if he
does you will
never have cause
to regret. Dear
Maggie I suppose
wishing you all a
happy Easter.
Joe
you think I am a
terrible fellow for
never writing, but
to tell you the truth
I have been so
disgusted since I
came out here I have
never had the heart
to write to anybody
but I hope you will
answer this short note
hoping yourself and
master Robert Henry is
well, tell him to write
me another long letter
good bye xxxxxx your affect [affectionate?]
xxxxxx Brother
(for Baby) Joe
