married to a good strong, healthy woman. A frail sickly woman will only make you more feeble. I do wish you would find you a good hearty one. If Sarah marries you will be more lonely. Make it a matter of duty. Oh my brother you don't know with that raptures I look forward to a union with Sarah. Every day since we parted my love for her has been growing more strong. I do believe I could not live without her. You need not ask more than one half the love I bear her. One half as much will insure blessedness in any family if it is reciprocal. But I can't love S. any less. It is my destiny, God appointed as I believed & will be blessed of him. Get you a wife. I know a girl that I think loves you, deeply. though it is only guess work, who is physically & socially & morally & natturally intellectually, well adapted to you. You know her. Five years from now she will be the one for you, when her soul is near developed. the soul is all in her now. Write me on this subject. I feel thy very elysium is drawing near, & it makes me feel all the ? for you. Your age too makes it a matter to be ? soon.
