on my account. You need not feel that I will not take every care of myself for I love you too much to do anything which would injure my health for I know that if I were to do so it would make you miserable. In your letters to Papa be sure that you do not mention anything about me for I do not wish Mama to know as it would make her so anxious. I told you all about Mama as I feared that you might hear some other way and that you might think she was much worse than she really is. I wish I could get her up to our house. She seems anxious to do so if she has strength if she is able we will try and get her up next week. This weather is very much against her. It is so changeable. What a comfort it is been in writing to tell my sorrows to one who can feel for me. Every day I feel more and more the comfort and blessing of being married to one who loves me as you do. I know dearest that although you are away from me that your thoughts are always with me and that you share with me in all my troubles and trials. My dearest
