The letter is incomplete, beginning on the fifth page of Renshaw's original letter to his wife. He asks after his wife and "baby child" and hopes to return home in three months, for "there is not an hour through the days that I am not wondering what you and Maria are doing." Worries repeatedly about the health of both wife and daughter and reminds Ella that "when you are in need of me I will come to you at all hazards."
