i
received your letter and
money and the chigacago news
all safe and
sound on tuesday
i suppose you see in the papers of the
suspension of roberts the postmaster his being short
in his returns
i believe is the cause of his suspension
it seems hard to get honest people in the post offices
the very place of all others that ought to be honest
men but i have been very luckey lately have
not lost any letter or money since the 5) sometimes
i think they must have wrote to me from st lous
and the letter has been taken but i dont know
that they have written to me i have sent two
letters to matty since i have got any from her
mr Lane
received one from Jeff last week i believ
it was saying he was just about leaving for
kentucky but i suppose he is home long before
this) i must write to han again so as to stir
up mr Heyde
see if i get any more of his
inteligent letters i should think it was almost
time he blowed off again) well walt you
washingtonians aint settled the president
question
yet i wish it was settled one
way or the other Edd
came up stairs yesterday
towards evening before the eagle
came the eagle
came down stairs and the man i think is a
democrat
he said to Edd the radicals were all down
or something to that affect so eddy came up
like mad saying they had cleared the buggers
and he would never have any thing more
to doo withe them i how doo
you know he is
clear he said it was in the eagle that it would
be better to have no congress at all than to doo
as they had it was quite amusing to see eddy is
such a gale but when i got the paper i
see how things were) well walt its storming
again i suppose georgey will be home the
poor man has to loose time but those that
gets the most wages their time goes on george
hasent been very well it is kind of bad work
not reall work but it has been so wet and he
has to get down in the pit to see to the cementing
and he gets all mud sometimes and he dont
favor himself much) well walter dear my
paper is small i have plenty of paper but
i thought i hadent much to write about
this time so i wouldent take a whole sheet
i dont get over my
lamenes yet but i make
out to doo around what has got to be done)
mrs glover at east brooklyn
good bie walter dear

i have since i wrote this letter got one from
Jeff and one from Matty Jeff sent me a letter
on the 28th on his return home with 10 dollars
which i have never received
and the letter
man says i never will get it now he had
a letter with him and read it to me that jeff
had sent to the post office he said it made
him feel very bad as it was on his rout
but if the letter ever came to the brooklyn
post office it was taken before it came
to him i think it is too bad i dont think
but what the carrier is perfectly honest he
has carried letters for 10 years) he said to day
their is lots of theiving somewhere
he said if my son to st louis had sent
a money order he would have got it
for me with my signing my name
i am very sorry i dident tell jeff
to not send it in a letter he said he
should send me some money when he
returned i cant get it without any
from the post office i wish they could have
took it from somebody that dident want
a new dress it was to get mamma a new
gown never mind it might have been
worse but its very provoking
