i will write a few lines once more before you come i got your letter on saturday i havent heard from st louis since i wrote to you so i suppose they are about the same or perhaps better than when i last heard) neither have i heard from georgey he left some money for me to put in the bank as the bank was shut when he came from new york after i put it in he wanted me to send him a line of the amount invested as the bank book was at the bank to have the interest cast up so i got the man to put it on a paper the whole amount and i sent it to him

there aint much new walter dear with me i am limping around as usual   the paper man is fixing the hall has been a week at it but is nearly finished i have had a real job had to take up all the stair carpit have had a woman to scrub and i hope to get it down this week georgeys house is kept in good condition it wouldent be if i wasent here it would soon look like a tenant house i have kept the two last months rent but have paid every cent of it on the house) and he dident give me a cent the two last times he was home he asked me if i wanted any of course i said no as he took out 30 dollars and said to his wife that had to last or asked her if it would last them a month she said they would get some from lowel i said i had an order from walt that would last me) but walt for all that George would never se me want i have too high an opinion of him to think he would ever shirk in any way if i was needy) but they want very much to get this house clear and i want him too as its a nice place
