  21 March 1873 My dear darling walt

i receeved your letter yesterday likewise the graphics i like them very much i should think they would be a sucsess i am in hopes walter dear you will soon be well again i am pretty well at any rate i work around full as much as i want to but of course its slow but i dont get much credit for it) but i dont care for that Lou s aunt is staying here at present she appears a clever woman but the best of it we have better grub as a general thing we live pretty saving but i suppose its all right i havent heard from Jeff in a long time) i wish walt you would send we an envelope directed to Jeff i get letters from hattee the last one she wrote said her father had been to kansas city but had returned (i suppos they get along pretty well in their boarding place but there is no place like your own home   i hope when the girls get older so they can take the charge of a house jeff will keep hous again i suppose as things was it was the only thing he could doo) i think walt when folks get old like you and me they ought to have a home of their own but i try to be contented as i might be much worse off i have many little things to put up with but we all have our annoyances some one way and some another) george is good enoughf to me but he thinks and its all right he should that every thing Lou does is all right) george aint like to get the brookly work at present and that is a great disappointment george is a good man but i dont think i ever saw any one so changed he used to be so generous and free but now he is very saving never goes out any where) so we go walter dear only try to get well once more)

poor dear matt i think of her day and night but i very seldom mention her name walt matti was a kind daughter to me i have cause to regret her death)

good bie

give my best Love to mrs oconor
