we shall have. I am still in hopes that something will yet turn up in our favor. Have you heard anything yet from Lydia so as to know whether she thinks of returning with you. If I go East for you I think I shall go so as to be there to spend the aniversary of our marriage with you. What was the day of the month I am very anxious to have our wood house ceiled up & plastered & then chamber oven in finished off, the frizzer fixed & gates put into the front yard finer & the house painted outside & in. We also need a stewart coal cooking stove & a no coal stove for our sitting room, & we want a cistern. If we could have all of these it would make our home much more cozy & pleasant. If we had a stewart coal cooking stove it would save fuel & would make cooking more pleasant. It will cost with its fixtures about 60 dollars. We also need a good coal stove in the sitting room so as to keep that comfortable day & night & we want to get a liberal supply of coal this summer. When do you intend going to Lawrence. You will not of course think of going alone. Have you visited Emily. How is your health & that of our children. Kiss the little boys for me. Remember me kindly to all. Take good care of yourself. With a loving kiss I bid you a sweet good night, Your affectionate husband. N. Kendall
