just had the satisfaction of perusing your letter mailed at St. Louis -- I noted all the items - you speak of renting a house at Louisville my dear I think you had best not engage one before returning home. if it is to your interest to have me settled there, I am willing to go - I shall have an opportunity of seeing you more frequently - which is the height of my happiness -- if my Mother and most inestimable Cousin are with me, I shall leave no very strong tie behind me ; I have many friends whom I think very highly of, but as I do not have many opportunities of going out to visit, I may as well be in one place as another __ my dear I should object to leaving the city before my confinement - you know my attachment for Dr Woodward _ leaving my Physician, is the greatest obstacle in the way - it is not very pleasant to most of females to employ a stranger at this particular time - and before our fourth comes to hand, you may be ready to leave steamboating, and we back to the old homestead -

Tuesday morn - Mrs Chapman was delivered, with a young daughter this morn Charles has informed me that Mr Lane will not leave before Tuesday or Wednesday

I feel disappointed, as I think the longer his delay here you will have to tarry where you are - The love unclear your dear Wife and little ones, with unclear sweet kisses,

J. A. Pearce
