it seemed quite a treat to get your letter you are the only correspondente i have at present they seem to all dropped off i havent had a letter from Matty in a very long while except a few lines from Jeff from cincinnatta i havent had any word from him since his arrival home he promised he would write as soon as he arrived i told him if he was busy when he got back for matty to write because i wanted to hear but i have not got any if they have wrote to me i have not got it i think maybee they have and it has been taken and han too she promised in her letter she would never

be so long again without
writing
but i suppose they
all have enoughf to doo without
writing when one gets out of the
way of writing its hard to get
in it again matty was going
to write to me so often she
said before shee went away
she would write every week
i got the papers to day with the letter
walter i like the chicago news
very much i never saw one
before i wish whenever you have
one you would send it to me
well walter dear we have leved
to see another may day come and
gone not as much moving as
usual they say in the papers
many has broke up houskeeping
on the account of rents being
so high i have been to look at
several places george
wants
to get out of this place very much
i went yesterday to look at one
in carlton aven just out of fulton
but it was no better nor any
more room than we have here
and 10 doll more rent a month
i would rather live here than
there and all the places i have
been to see was something that
would make it disagreable
in some way or other) here i
can doo just as i like but
of course there is some disagreable
things but they are all as clever
to me as they can bee) george
has lots of fun about their calling
me lady whitman the family
that has come in up stairs has
five children but i think she
is very clean woman and
the children seems orderly
but they have to run up and
down so there is some noise
i told george yesterday
i wasent going any where
to look at any more houses
but was going to wait for
something to turn up i am
quite lame in one of my
knees i dont know what
makes it so it pains me
considerable i suppose it
must be the rheumatism
settled there) sometimes i can
hardly walk and then it will
be better to day it feels quite
bad on account perhaps of the
appearance of a storm)
i suppose the impeachment is draging to a close george thinks Bingams speech is splendid just his sentiments exactly he said at dinner time) i havent read it yet their speeches is so long i hope this will not be so lengthy as the others poor old man i wonder how he feels it will be rather sad if he is convicted for all i suppose he hasent done right i see in the papers if he leaves he will be esscorted through the citys) walter you must have congratulations from all quarters poor old alcot he must be very old seems to me) you remember walt that sunday morning we couldent have him)
good bie walter dearmr Lane told george they had raised Jeffs salary to 6000 but i think it must be a mistake
