Israel B. Brown, Appleton Gale, Derrick Fuller, Cedric C. Allen, Dudley G. Whitney, Charles Goldsbury, Joseph Draper, Ebon S. Proctor. I am thankful Enough that Samuel was not drafter & I thought you would like to know & also the names of those draftees. I am very anxious indeed to know how you are.I shall be at home one week from Saturday any way unless I am unable to get there, & if I hear from you that you need me immediately I shall leave here immediately. My dear good wife, keep up good heart & we will contrive to live Easier than we have done for a year or two past. It is better for our children that we should live to bring them up even if we do not leave them our cents than to have die now and leave them what we have. I will try & make my dear good wife happy & contented if in my power. I wrote you Sunday and sent it Monday, also I sent you a letter yesterday & I send this today. Have you got them. Those harnesses come all right, take good care of yourself. I remain your loving husband N. Kendall
