My dear good Wife,

   I wrote you yesterday also two days before that & yet I am writing you again this evening.  I sent you in the letter before the last a draft in W.Y. for $35 have you got it.  I feel like writing you a love letter to-night, but I am not right sure how you relish my love letters as you do not answer them, but I will venture to say that if I had you with me to-night I would give you such sweet kisses as would call out words of love from you & kisses of affection in return.  I don't know but I write you too frequently to have you prize my letters & I don't know but I express my love for you too frequently to have you relish it, but Abby
