if we take proper care of ourselves we shall be comfortably well again. Have you yet complied with my request about your flannels. I listened to an excellent sermon on the Rev.. Mr. Ryder of Chicago last evening. It was a capital sermon. I like him very much indeed. St. Paul church is a beautiful building, & they have a fine organ. You know Mary & I heard Mr. Ryder when we were in Chicago. After hearing such a man, preaching like what we get in La Porte don't amount to much. I hardly ever listened to a sermon I liked better. I was not well in Chicago & I did feel O. so lonely. I would have been O, so glad to have had you with me. I don't like to travel alone & if I were able pecuniarily I never would travel without you. It was clear sunshine & ware half an hour ago & now it looks as if in a few minutes it would rain hard. How is your health now & how are the children. Have your menses yet returned & if not have you any other signs of pregnancy. I feel very anxious to have you with me & to have you well. You need to be properly clothed & to have a great deal of outdoor exercise. Take the best possible care of yourself. How much good a kiss of love from those dear lips of yours would do me now. I hope ere long to have you where I shall be daily blessed by your presence & love. With a loving kiss & a sweet good bye I remain your affectionate husband. N. Kendall
