lovingly by my side awoke me from my trance of bliss to find myself all alone. I shall write to Lydia today inviting her to return with you & spend the summer or as long as she finds it pleasant to do so. I expect now to go down to our farm to-morrow & be gone several days. The wheat & oats ought to have been sowed the past few days of beautiful weather. I shall go east to return with you if you think it best & will arrange to go at such a time as you may designate. I do not want you to think of returning alone. If Lydia should return with you it would perhaps be as well for me not to go east as you know I have no money to spend unless it is necessary, yet I would much prefer selling some of our stock & using the money for it in going after you to having you overdo for I am very anxious to have you well & happy.
