bring home any “costly presents” you can rest assured, for we will have no “surplus” to expend. But we will dedicate all our means to the Lord. Every thing looks beautiful down here now. The forests are clothed in verdure and the hills look joyous and glad. Everything has entered upon a new life. yet “Winter laid in lap of spring” longer than usual. I presume you are now in the midst of springing buds and timid little flowers which lift their gentle heads in fear of frost. But soon, very soon, all will be warm and pleasant with you in Iowa. No indeed. No danger of my “making a mistake” again. Not a bit of it, Wonder if any body is “anxious" Eh? To avoid any error we will just dispense with the cause of the “mistake” before. Wonder if I must be welcomed this time? I am glad those reports and documents came, although the messages and reports of the secretary of state are the most valuable. What has become of my library? Please have some one look after it, if you are not able to do so yourself, Well do I know how dearly you love me, and all the energies of my heart are yours. No wife was ever loved better, or more tenderly than you my own dear ardent wife. How we will
