  Monday 1868 November 2 My dear Walter

i have got your letter to day with the money order i have been down and got the money this time all was well) i dont know as i should have gone down to day as it was election day but jeffy sent me a letter about 2 weeks ago with 5 dollars in and i never received it i had a letter from him last week saying if i had not received it to go to the post office and enquire i knew it would be of no use but i did ask simonson but it was the old story it never come here or you   would have got it) it seems to be a fate on it every time Jeff sends me any money its stolen i wrote three letters to maty thinking it so strange i got no answer but Jeff wrote last week that matty wasent very well i suppose she has bad spells and then she gets better again) well walt i have had two letters from the honorable Mr Heyde well we wont say any thing of the bad but tell of the good he says han received my letter with one dollar and she cant get ready to come to brooklyn till about christmas that she drudges about that her thumb is very sensitive to the cold) that the neighbors is very kind and sympathecic when   she was sick) then if he had stopped and not wrote any more the leter would have been quite acceptable but we let the balance go for what its worth i was glad to hear from han even from him

George has been home came on saturday and staid untill to day to vote he got me two tons of coal and had taxes to pay and he wished me to say to you walter that the 1 of next month he thought he could pay you all up as smith will make some arrangements to dispose of all or part of the house he said he could send you 50 dollars this month if you had need of it but if you dident he would get an overcoat

 

he said you must write if you had use for it and he would not get the coat untill the next pay he is dooing very well now but if Goodrich is elected he thinks the ring will be broke up as he is very much down on the water board i have got the stove fixed and it does real good and the coal burns very good so you see walter dear i have a warm room and money in my pocket if i could get rid of the rheumatism but there must be something or we should get too much attached to this world) good bie to night walter dear) little charley down stairs is very sick the doctor comes twice a day the old lady has gone to mobeal to see a son she has living there

good bie
