the inflamation in your lung by agitation. I am glad you are not pregnant I did not suppose you were as I wrote you. If I have our buggy painted & covered it will take till about the 10th of June to have it down & in this case if you come with this summer we had better arrange to have you get here about that time & go down to our farm in our carriage. We can sell your tickets from here to Chicago & it will be pleasant. You speak about my making a long visit East. I dont now see how I can make much of any visit even if I go East as I cannot lose the time & it will keep me busy after the first of Sept to get our hay, coal, wood rails for corn cribs & fall ploughing done. I suppose I might lose some time & let my job last into Sept & then hire someone to do the work that I should do. Perhaps if I was not absent more than 10 days or two weeks they would not ask me to lose any time. I will think this matter over. There is another objection against my visiting East. I have but one suit of cloth in the world & I have worn them everyday for a long time & they do not look as well as you or I would like to have them. Perhaps they would do. What do you think. If I go East I shall endeavor to start so as to spend the 24th with you & if I go as soon as that will it be necessary to bring your things if I do not stay more than a week or ten days. Be sure & write me at once about this & all matters I have spoken about. It is very warm here now & quite dry & dusty. If we go down to the farm we must take such medicine as we think our children will want I am very anxious to have you & the children with me & it will not cost any more to have you than it will to have you remain, but the question is whether there is any more danger of the children being sick on the farm than in New England. I feel very anxious to have them keep well & to have you well & happy. It seems to me I love you all the more & more & feel more and more anxious about your healths. With much love I remain your affectionate husband N. Kendall
