19 April 1882 • Indianapolis, Ind. (MS, correspondence card: CU-MARK, UCCL 02202)
slcWell, Livy darling, we shall be at Indianapolis in five minutes, where I shall mail this. I haven’t anything to write about, except that I love youⒶemendation just the same or more; & also have a tender feeling for Jean & the kids. It is not easy to write, on this joggling train. Slept better than I ever did before in a sleeping car. We are due at St Louis at 8 to-night, where I hope to find a telegram from you saying you are a great deal better than when I left. With a world of love, sweetheart.
