a plain simple dish. They are very kind to me at David's. Mary mends my socks & looks after my clothes & my washing. She has a girl now. David is feeling better now & more hopeful. I do hope they will be let alone so that they can go on & pay at least the debts that my name is on. How fortunate it is that I made a marriage settlement upon you of that farm in Illinois & that I sold our my share in the mill as I did which not only gave you our household furniture & stock but has also released me from 5000 dollars of indebtedness. Had I not have done so we should have nothing in the shape of property to-day. as it is we have an humble but comfortable home. I feel now that I would gladly let that land in this state go if by so doing, I could pat that note in Bradly's hands & also get relieved of all responsibilities of the Mill debts. You don't know how anxious I am to be entirely releived of debt. It seems to me I could be happy O, so happy with my family on our farm if we were entirely out of debt & you were well & happy. I would then be our home, our true home blessed by mutual love & contentment & made glad by the affection & love of our children. For me there can be no true home without the presence of a true noble & loving woman, contented & happy there. & I long for such a home & I am sure, dear wife we can make our home a true home when
