enough to leave our things down on the farm while we are gone. I am better than I was when I last wrote you. Have you received the $15 I sent you by Express. Has Mr. Sheldon yet got the Mower home from Kankakee & have they cut any hay. Is the grain all well stacked so as to make it secure from rain. We have had no rain here as yet, but it looks very much like rain to-day. How is the corn looking. I suppose it has been so dry that the cows have not given much milk. Has Mr. Young's horse got well yet______ The Mob in N.Y. City --- has been suppressed but it was a terrible affair. There have been small mobs in Most of the cities. The draft will take place here next week. I hope it will not take either Myron or David, Mr. Paine, Mr. Noyes, Mr. Moore etc. have got back. Morgan & his Rebel cavalry escaped out of Indiana & is now, or was at last account in Ohio, but our folks have him in a tight place & I think it doubtful if he escapes. Vicksburg & Port Hudson are ours so that the Mississippi River is once more open. The City of Charleston has been again attacked & last night there was a rumor that it had been taken. I hope it is true. Vallandigham is in Canada & is addressing his followers in Ohio of which state he hopes to be elected governor. I took tea last night at Mr. Walker's, Sarah Sue is there now. They all enquired kindly after you. Sarah will remain here during the summer. Monday I took dinner at Mr Hannah's Charles' health is not good. He has his ups & downs about as he used to. Dear Wife I know you will take good care of the children. I want you should also take good care of yourself for my sake. I love you & want you to be well & happy. I remain your affectionate husband N. Kendall
