more than ever before & that I must have your for my perfect companion a companion for my whole nature, a component part of my soul, & that our union must be a perfect one, a union of two loving souls so blended as to form one true & perfect whole such as God designed when he formed the two sexes. I feel that we shall be so much happier & better for it & shall be able to progress so much more rapidly than we ought to strive to bring about such a perfect union at once. I know I have not done my share in this matter in time past. It never presented itself before to me in the strong light it now does. I shall wait to read what my wife says upon this subject, speak freely. Abby dear, I have been thinking that perhaps you might find some good girl who has no home & would be glad to help you take care of the children while you are visiting & after you return & it would be better for her. Be sure to get some one to do your washing if possible. I am anxious to have you well. How is your health. Tell me all about yourself. Are you following Doct. Higday's directions.

[left-hand side] How are the little boys. How is Eddie. Has Winnie taken the medicine I sent. Is Mary well and all the rest. With much love I am your affectionate husband.
