My dear good Wife

    I wrote you a letter yesterday devoted to my anxiety about you & my wishes relative to your care of yourself.  I do hope you will tell me that you will at once heed my advise, especially as regards flannels.  Don't fail in this matter now.  If you have not money enough to get you what other clothing you want & also get you flannels such as I desire be sure & get your flannels at once & I will send you more money for other clothes.  I sent you the 8th of this month $35 in a draft of W.Y. which I suppose you have got before this.  I am deeply in earnest about your flannels & amaking & wearing them as I have suggested & I shall feel very badly if you do not at once comply with my wishes as
