My own dear good Wife

   I have already written you a long letter but there was a past of your letter which I have not as yet answered & I take this separate sheet to talk with you about it.  I wish you were with me so that I could tell you as I cannot on paper what I want to.  You say you had your menses soon after you reached Warwik & then only a small amount & that it was too soon by a week for them & that since that time you have seen nothing of them & that some seven weeks have elapsed.  You also say that Chandlers first wife's menses stopped some 5 months before her death & you fear that you may be following her as you know you are not pregnant.    I am sorry indeed that your menses
