matter you think is for the best. I want to live with you & the children constantly, but I am not selfish enough to wish to purchase my happiness at the expense of yours & even if I were I could not do it for I know I cannot be happy with you unless you are contented & happy. I may have work enough in La Porte to keep me busy til July 1st & I may not. I cannot now tell. I want you to use your money in making yourself comfortable in every respect. Get such clothe as you need & as will make you comfortable every way. If you can use a sewing machine get such an own as you want. If you determine to come west don't purchase your sewing machine till you get west. Your money will do you more good now to use it than to lay it up. And it will do me more good to have you comfortable & happy than to have the money lain up. It will do our children more good
