  My dear walt

its another monday morning and edd and me is alone george has gone to brooklyn and Lou is going to philadelph[damage] i wish you was here with me to day we would have some good strong tea for dinner george has gone to see about getting the brookly work and take out a small sum of money from the bank for the man to begin his house or Lou s as she calls it) i should much like to have somebody to talk with i dont hear much but house and money if they could build and keep all the money in the bank it would be good the man is to build it very cheap george thinks he will lose by it

 

i received your letter saturday dear walt i am glad you are improving although slowly it is tedious to stay in so long i know by experience i havent been out except next door in ten weeks this street has been so full of ice and there is quite a quantity of snow in it yet but i shall try to go out soon i have been better of the rheumatism this winter untill a week or so ago i got quite lame in my knees so i could hardly get down stairs but i think i took cold going out to the privy getting my feet damp as the water stands in the path nearly all the time but every thing must be kept so scientific here i dont know sometimes how it is i hope there will never   be any thing to annoy or disturb the manager i think sometims a person can be to particular Lou aint so nice about any thing but the appearance of the house that seems to be her hobby she has her girls come to see her quite often girls she used to work with they have to all be up here sometimes i dont feel like having them but there is no where else for them but in the kichen we had five here yesterday not all girls but 3 went away but one girl and her beau staid till 10 oclock)

well walt i beleive that will doo for gossip) poor jeff i want to write to him to day but i hardly know what to write to him i have the letter from hattie poor little girls i want   to see them but i dont know when i ever shall i dont think it would doo to invite them here to stay) i thought by hattys letter maybey they dident like their new home but your letter says you think they are satisfied hattie dident say they was dissattisfied but she said the last few weeks seemed like a dream to her of course no place can be like home to them poor matt it seems as if i can hardly realize she is gone as her picture hangs here and looks so much like life it brings the tears to my eyes but i seldom speak of her i think walter dear you and me felt the loss more than any one else except her family of cours Jeff feels it more than any one else can but time will asswage in some measur if it wasent for that we couldent live throug our troubles

 

you must write walter dea as often as you can) will you have to get some one to write for you walter or will the work make no difference dont worry walter dear
