this P. M. with an Engine & car & so take the night train that leaves Chicago at 6 30. I think it will be easier for me to take the sleeping car than to wait & go on the day train. If I am much tired when I get to Pittsburg I shall stop & rest there, if not we shall go right on. I shall be detained in N. Y. City about two days. I have left our silver ware in Mr W. C. Hannah's safe, also my large pocket book with valuable papers in. I have left a bundle of papers belonging to us in a tin box on the C. P. & C. R. R. Myron Knows where. I have left a letter press & copying book & whip & that old soldiers overcoat in W. C. Hannah's office. I have left my robes & a trunk of clothing etc., my fur cap & my best overcoat at Mrs Fox's. I have had our family buggy thoroughly repaired & painted & it is now in a ware house. Bayley & Ross can tell you where & so can David. There are Frills? & Froll? to it. It is a very nice buggy now & looks as well as new. It cost $41 30/100 to repair it. I have paid for its repair. I have bought Davids horse Charley & paid him 45 in cash & am to pay him five more. This horse, the ? Sho? plow & a harrow I have bought this summer cost just what I sold up for & they take his plow as your property. I have been particular to tell you all about these things so that if anything happens to me you may know all about matters. Good bye, Sweet wife till I see you. Your loving husband N. Kendall. I bought Davids Charley so that when we get down to the farm we can have an extra horse for you to ride. Charley will do to ride on the farm & you can have Bill or Kate to run.
