up to be as good & noble a man as he seems to be capable of making. I love him O so much & dear little Winnie also, with his artless affectionate ways & baby too with his bright eyes & wife too the Mother of them all. They all love me too I know in return & are happier when I am with them than when I am away. You & I must both take good care of ourselves for the sake of Each other & our children. Have you received the Atlantic Monthly that I sent you & have you read the article "Weak lungs & how to make them strong"______ I do hope we shall have some good crops this year so that we can be easier pecuniary than we were last year. We must keep two girls & you must be out in the open air much & get well. I cannot consent to anything Else. And now dear Wife let me repeat how much I love you & how glad I would be to feel the impress of your own dear loving lips upon my on & to hear words of love from you in return. I remain your affectionate husband N. Kendall
