treasures, & I can hardly wait till the first of June. How strange, before I got your letter I had so schooled & disciplined myself that I thought I could get along, & have your home in New England & I still live here, but now since receiving your letter I feel an almost irrepressible desire to feel the impress of your sweet lips upon my own & the physical pleasure which your own dear self imparts to me as each night you nestle lovingly close to my heart. I shall expect you here shall I about the first of June. I hope you will visit Emily before you leave Warwick. She is your sister & if you do it I think she will be glad to see you & your visit will heal up any wounded feelings she may fancy she has. If you do not visit her she will only feel harder towards you. You are my wife & you know I would not counsel this to you unless I felt it was the best possible thing you can do. You have done her no injury & why should you hesitate to meet her as a sister & to overlook anything that is necessary to restore harmony between you. I think Chandler is wrong to advise you not visit her. Meet her as an affectional sister & you will be happier for it all your life & so will she & she will love you all the better if you show yourself noble & forgiving. I will make my plans now I know your wishes & write you all about them in a day or two. I will bring up the trunk here which contains your clothing. I want to hear from you again before I go down there so as to know just what you want brought up. Don't you think the house better be painted outside & in before we go down there. If I can possibly raise the money to do it I want it painted for it will be so much more pleasant & I want you should love our home. Try get a good girl at the home. I hope Lydia will return with you with a loving kiss I bid you a sweet good night. Your affectionate husband. N.K.
