so well in the picture [hire?], and if thy cough was gone and all the cold too, I should be just as happy as possible away from thee. This is fearful weather for head diseases - and lung diseases, too. - Do be very careful, my dear, I know thee will be and I try not to be over anxious. I shall send thee a little letter from Burlington, I guess. I have to wait there so long. - Don't I remember how good it was to see thee a year ago, when aunt Paulina and I went "a sight-g[?] for [?]" at all times. Thee'll direct thy next letter to F. - I hope the one thee sends this morning will come in two days, otherwise I shall not get it, here. - We are invited to Stillman K's but don't know as we shall go - to-morrow night. The custom has arrived, - before I had thought of it. I'll remember about the drawers. There is to be a Masonic ball at Port's this week, though Ellen is very low yet, the fever still continues and she has a milk leg. Horace is a manager, but says he shall not go as Mary of course don't want to. She is to watch with Ellen that night. Mary sends love to thee, "always" she says. I do think she is getting a good deal of faith in my husband. - I knew she would in time, though she is so "down" on most men. - It is almost mail time. God bless thee dear and prosper thou in all thy ways, and hasten the day that brings us together, in body, yes dear, always "united in spirit" - Thy own loving wife,
Anna.
