Life of Lord Lawrence I've written you of, I shall enjoy reading that book -- two volumes -- greatly. I've written to the landlords to draw a joint deed to the Kansas farm to you and I, as per suggestions from Rogers -- as it is out of the question for me to visit the settlements to acknowledge and? assign it to you. It is perhaps as well for I may want to improve? the place in way of buildings, and it would not be just to Miss L. for me to put out very much cash from my lean purse on property I hold no interest in whatsoever. Don't worry about the Malta views. I was delighted to get the views you did send and [[start?] very pretty album, I enclose a unclear for your xmas, wish I could send you something worthwhile but cannot Am trying to mend the past and save enough to gro us a comfortable home, and when we have that you may make up your mind to share it, and you'll find unclear as contented persons as you care to meet. Am so sorry to hear of poor little Ezra's misfortune yet I trust that a few days or at the most -- weeks -- may find the little fellow as good as new. i do hope you will not let the sickness and change worry you too much. Try to take whatever comes to you in a calm quiet way. I wish that I might be with you all for a little time perhaps even my poor unclear might be of some service. I shall anxiously await further information as to the little sick one, am too weary to write more. With my best love to all,

very affectionately, C
