i
received your letter
yesterday with the 10 dollr and the one on friday
with the 2 i shall keep the ten to move with it
comes very good we shall move the last
of june so walt you can send your next
weeks letter the same as this and after that i will
write how to direct) i am glad Walt you keep
well that is the greatest blessing after all) i fell
quite smart considering i have to work so very
hard i feel when i lie down at night as if
i should not be able to get up in the morning
but when morning comes i feel better matty
and sis
has gone to woodbridge new jersey
near perth amboy
to see if she can get board
i dont much expect she will get any place
but would be very glad if she does she is
not very well and the young ones never was
half so much trouble i dont think in their
lives as they are now their mother says she dont know
what to doo with them matty worked on the
machine
and has had a bad coughf i think her working
on the machine so steady hurt her i wanted
her to stop but she wanted to get so much
done but she is much better now only
has a slight coughf) george
is at work
on the new main as they call it as inspector
i beleive that s what they call it he stands it
midling well it is standing and walking
but yesterday he had to walk very far to get
here he was where he couldent ride his
legs troubles him some get lame he was
here to breakfast this morning but
felt as if he would like to loaf and
live at his ease
there was no particular
need as i told him of his going to work so
soon but he seemed inclined to doo so
i shall be glad when i get down town on
his account it is
so far up here he has had
a wonderfull appetite after being sick but
its not so good now but that is nothing strange
his face dont appear to bloat any more
we have letters from Jeff
quite often
he worries very much about matti and
the children and mammy i told mat
to not write every thing to worry him
it would doo us no good but you know
how mat is she has certainly not had a
beginning of work to doo but she has felt not very
well and very fretful it
is amusing
to see the folks wach us to see if we make
any preperations to move but nary a word
doo they speak i dont think they would be
quite so bad if mrs beecher
hadent given
them directions the other day the girl went out
and they tied one door with a rope and locked
the other edd
went down to get a pail of water
but couldent get in i told him to go to the hydrant
matt said he shouldent so she went down stairs
and got the key i should move if the place was
finished as small as it is but it has to be painted
and it would be so bad but i think i
would be very much better of there than
here the place has had very many improvements
i am very sorry for the Oconnors very indeed
