Abstract:
Acknowledges she writes less frequently than her husband, emphasizes her love, expresses her gratitude for their relationship, and laments their physical separation. Worried for his health due to his frequent travels and warns him to "be careful how you lecture among the young ladies, for if they should fall in love with you I fear I should come off rather short." Comments on her poor health, experience of pain, and taking bitters and brandy as medicine. Kisses his photograph. News of acquaintances and local affairs, including someone having to pay a fine to a lawyer for losing someone's bonnet. "The old man is hopping mad, and declares he won't pay $4 for that old worn out bonnet he will stand a trial first."
