Unluckily our chairbox1 was left when papa and Sally came today. I will thank you to have it tied securely directly and bring it in your chair when you come down to K. It is open so that several small things which I have in there may be lost tossing about, if it is not tied immediately. I wish you to bring it, as I have not a single change of cloths for my child. She has supported the ride very well having slept the whole way, almost. Indeed, she has been more quiet today than usual. I myself [am] not half as much fatigued as I expected to be.
I hope my dear husband you will take care of yourself. Your health is weak. I dread a continuation of the ague. I know if you wou’d take medicine you wou’d soon be perfectly restored.
I shall be anxious ‘till I see you and till then may God bless and preserve you to your
truly affectionate
1 I sent you the key of the secretary by our cousin Waters. Good night
