how you feel upon this subject & what your wishes are & whether you gladly & freely give me the desired promise. I think I know your answer but still I shall wait impatiently to hear from you. I repeat dear wife that it seems to me that there was more harmony between us the last two months we were in our prairie home together than Ever before & I know I never enjoyed before your physical presence as well as I did from the time I came home from LaPorte last summer up to the time you left for your old New England home. I have told you this before. I would be O So glad to have you With me now. I fully appreciate your value & your charms to me as my good true wife. Take good care of your health for my sake & the sake of our little boys. You are a good noble Mother as well as wife & we must have you perfectly well. Are you following Doct. Higday's advice. I want you to take an interest with me in my reading & study. Would you like to? & shall I write you about what I read & think & study. And now dear one, in imagination place your arms about me & your sweet lips to Mine as they have been wont to receive from these lips of Mine where our souls were mingling in the warm embrace of love

[left-hand side] Kiss our dear children for me again & again. May God watch over & protect us all, & soon permit us to live together again in peace & love. Your affectionate husband N. Kendall
