Notes: The William Roe mentioned in this letter is from the firm Buck and Roe - which was Edward's employer and is described as "Buck & Roe, druggists and stationers, Broadway bet Fox and Main" in this 1859 directory from Aurora, Illinois.
Galesburg May 11, 1861
Dear Mother,Your letter of the 3d came to hand yesterday. I do not like to speak to Johnston about my leaving him untill I know whether William Roe wants me for a certainty or not. But just as soon as he lets me know I will give him an answer immediately, " yes or no." Kate goes to Knoxville today. We are all well. Write soon and let me know what Roe intends doing.
Your affectionate
Son
Ed
