& to impress upon me the fact that the presence & influence of my good wife, both spiritual & physical not only is necessary for my well being & happiness bit also is the greatest luxury of my life, & a luxury which it seems to me I cannot do without. There dear one have I said enough? Do you love your husband as he loves you? Is his presence as necessary to you for your happiness as your presence is to him? If so there in imagination place your arms about my neck & your dear lips to my own & sip the nectar of one long Kiss brim full of love.______There dear is your heart full now, there let it nestle lovingly & confidingly in my own, & be sure that if you do not get letters often from me the fault is not mine.________________________ I am sorry Anne is not with you. Take good care of yourself, this warm weather & of the children the birds and blossoms of our love. I cannot just now say when I shall be at home. I shall come one week from to-morrow if I can borrow $100 of Mr. Walker. If not I may stay a week, or two more so as to get money to pay the more pressing claims. I want to hear from you relative to the letter I wrote you about returning with me when I come back. I wrote you a long letter about it & my new clothes I also wrote you about they cost me 61 dollars. I dislike to spend so much for these, but I did not see how I could get along without them. Write often & tell me how you like my love letter. My heart is yearning for one from you in return. Kiss the dear children for me, & receive your heart full of love & kisses from your affectionate husband N. Kendall
