Kankakee May 24, 1871 My dear husband It is half past 6 o’clock so I only have time to write a word or two tonight. This has been a lonely day to me I have had a headache and it has been so warm I have not had much strength and I feel tired tonight. Artie is well as when you left he coughed some last night but not more than he has done. This does not seem much like the anniversary of my birth and wedding day
