My dear Lindley,

I was indeed glad to get your lr. of 26 the Feb. chock full as it was of newsy items most of which were quite new to me - You hit on a nail in that respect upon which no one else has trodden, for I don't get the Colonist & of course the wife doesn't naturally concern herself with such things, nor do I expect her to, as you may imagine - At the same time it is almost a superfluity [wsay?] that these things are more interesting to me - I am going to have the "Colonist" sent to me, at least / no. per [cok?] so that when (& if) I do return
