attempt, situated as we are as regards money matters & health I see no other choice except either a home for you & the children in some pleasant New England Village or a home for us on the prairie. I thank you for your expressions of willingness to return any moment I may appoint. I have told you how glad I should be to have you with my constantly, but I leave it to you to decide where our home shall be. I do not think it will cost any more for you & the children to live there than here, & you will be near your friends & the home of your childhood, & if you will be happier there than here I prefer that our home should be there. If you choose to have our home there I shall do what I can to be with you as much as possible but how much of the time I can be with you there I cannot now tell. I leave this matter entirely with you I am very tired to night so I must close. Kiss our children for me & tell them I love them very much & would be very glad indeed to see them. With a loving kiss I bid you a sweet good night. YOur affectionate husband N. Kendall
