even our temporary home unless you desire it. It will be necessary for me to be here more or less this summer. The small fruit must be set out & the soft maples & the orchards, small fruit & maples must be cultivated. It will be necessary also to haul rails for corn cribs & to look after the grain & market it & if we do not sell all our stock it will be necessary to cur hay for it but all this will not take me over three months. Whether you remain where you are this summer or come out here I leave with you to decide. I should be very glad to have you & the children with me if you will be as happy here as there. I want you to visit sister Sarah for I think you will enjoy it & if you come out here i want Lydia should come with you & I want you to have help. I need not repeat how anxious I am to have you well & happy. You
