i have just received your letter all right with the 10 dlr for hanna which i will give her to get what she likes she is very gratefull for the present you say if i want money at any time to send to you you
must not deny yourself any comforts only send what you you can very conveintly spare the fare was much more than i expected it was 12 dollars it used to
be 7 i begin to feel a little as if i wanted to go back but han wont hear a word about it i have had a letter from Jeffy and one from
Matty but
none from george i suppose he is very busy Jeff
says he has got a job
to new york rather a big job i should think Jeffy says he is not going to doo any thing in the way of building his house this winter i was very sorry to
hear that as i was in hopes he would have a place of his own he says brick is so
very high i dont know but what we shall all have to go to birmingham
to live every thing is so monstrous dear i have heard more about the place to day it
certainly is quite a desirable place people that has lived here at burlington would not come here to live but likes it there much better there is many
well off farmers and
provitions is low so a person could live if they had a small income
i want to go and see
it but Mr Heyd isent favorable to it) Walt doo you feel well or are you overtaxed in your work that the warm weather
affected you soo i wish Walter you would write to the doctor at flatbussand see how Jessee
is and let me know i cant help but think so much about
him i suppos its because i am here and dont
have the children to take my time) every
thing seems to go on here lately very
well the living is very good and all i dont
know as i feel any better than i did at home i feel pretty well i get a
little home sick once in a while i told
han to day i must go back in two weeks she made a great time she said you said i must
stay 3 months
i am very sorry Jeffy sent the wrong papers
if you wish them you had
better write to Jeffy to send them i have not been out any since i have been here i
have been waiting for han to go with me i want to get some flannel and stocking and
a few other things han says she will write to you soon give my love to the people of
your house and the old lady in particular
i would not write with a pencil if i had
pen and ink but i must write with something
