I am almost myself again do not feel very strong but am well in all other respects. . . Our boy has improved wonderfully since he has had his nurse . . . What would you not give to see him do you love him as much as you do Carrie. . . Carrie is not at all well she is cutting two double teeth . . . There is so much pneumonia about that I was very uneasy about her . . . the children are very often both screaming at once when I feel as if I should go distracted. I think it is your duty to come home and take care of them and let old Abe have the Southern Confederacy if he wants it. . . it is very pleasant for a man to go, but it is terrible to be a good for nothing woman left at home. . ."
