Transcript	Feby 18th Mr. Doyle came up from Kingston yesterday and spent last night with me – he returns this evening and will probably leave for Oxford on Saturday morning – I have requested him to call on you frequently, whilst at home, for I want him to bring me a full account of how you are looking and how the children are doing – and last and not least, a long letter from my own dear Maggie. I don’t suppose you will have any opportunity of sending any package by him for he will have to ride through horseback – Take good care of the books until some future time. I have sent a ring for Ada, which a friend of mine made for me, out of a piece of [gutta pucha] – I have nothing to send you dear but my love and many, many Kisses – There is nothing I could buy in the neighborhood if I had the money to buy it with – Wait till we get in Kentucky, next Summer, and then I will buy a nice present for my darling wife – I have sent by Mr. Doyle an order [McChilton] drawn by John Watkins for One hundred Dollars, which I told him to pay to the Doctor – He will also pay the Doctor One hundred Doll which O loaned Mr. D – Tell the Doctor to place it to my credit, as this is part of the money I drew from him when I left home –
