i thought i would write
a few lines if it wasent sunday to say
i got your letter with the ten dollars
and am very much Obliged to you
for it i hope i shant get in such A
straet again for a little change there
seems to be so many little things you
think you want when you aint got
anything to get with) we are all well
Jeff
has got well again he eats so
heartily and late that i tell him he
will feel it when he grows older
sis
is as fat as she can well be and
hatty
is well they are two troublesome
children enoughf to be in one house
i told hatty to day to not come down
any more she is such a mischieveous
girl i get up very early and that
seems to be the only time i can get
my work done but they will be
older and i hope better one of these days
Well Walt georgee
has got nearly
over his quiet spell and seems
like old times again i hope it wont
occur again very soon i cant bear
to have any body so and not know
what is the cause i thought of every
thing i had said if i had said anything
to give him reason but i dont think
i did any thing) he is getting along
pretty well with his work they
have got another job not very
extensive a house to fit up in warren st
i dont think they will make a great
deal out of the job in new york
but it is only my surmise George
dont say much about it they have
taken up 1000 dollars and George says
he has paid it all out but perhaps
they will do better than i think)
i am going to write to han i have left the dinner table standing to write this and will write to her as there is a lull in the young fry department i wish that you would write to that man about jim he certainly is going to destruction i wrote a note to nancy to ask her if she would fix him up but she nor him has not been here since she has very many things given her that she might do very well
