  Our kind friend and brother

Your letter, with 2 dollars duly recd.

Han regrets very much that she cannot write her thanks, even a postal. She sympathises, understanding Jessies great loss—and she too recall Jeff in Brooklyn—his guitar—his close bond of friendship with you—closer as it were than a brother. She is allmost seriously ill—jaundice, nervousness debility, and yet striving to maintain her home / our house. Bingham re-iterates that she must be kept warmer. I have written to Lou. She needs a long heavy, wollen stocking that will expand when drawn on. I have connected my stove with hers in bedroom, by adding more pipe and elbow—at a cost of 1 dollar—which I told the worker he could send for, to Mrs Lou Whitman, Burlington New Jersey—as before—Weather has been severely cold—moderating to day, with snow. I have no money am short 10 dollars, interest 1 year—at Bank—due 10th Nov—not quite out of coal yet.

Your kindness we appreciate every hour in the day. "O Walt" is so good.
