told me how sick he is. I do hope he will get well but if not I want to know the worst & be prepared for it. The dear little boy, how much I love him, as I do you all. Be sure & write me every mail till he is out of danger. If you are too tired to write much, write just enough to let me know how you all are. I wish you would put on your letters (Via Boston, Cleveland, & Toledo) I think they send the letters via Indianapolis. I don't see why they should for business letters come from Boston here in two days. How long are my letters going to you? My own dear good wide I did not know how much I should miss you& the children. You of course can form some idea how anxious I am about you & you have been very kind to write me so often. I commenced reading a series of articles written by Agassiz in the Atlantic Monthly with the intention of writing you about them thinking that you & I would enjoy together an intellectual feast this winter even if our bodies were so far apart, but my anxiety about you & the children & my anxiety about the Mill Matter here is so great that I have given up my reading for the present. Love & kiss the dear children for me, Winnie, Eddie, "Ba". Remember me kindly to all your brothers & sisters. How many letters have you received from me. Have you received my long love letter. Take as good care of yourself as possible contributing to the happiness & Welfare of your husband & children. With much love I remain your affectionate husband N. Kendall
