i have just receeved your favor as the business men say enclosing 3
doller every thing comes correct lately sometimes i am
almost inclined to think the old letter carrier was the guilty party this present
one said the old one resined
may bee he had too) it is now about 11
oclock matty has been out hunting for a girl i
doo hope she will get one) for i help her
somtimes when i feel hardly able to stand up she has very
much to doo but it has got to such a pass that she depends
to much on me if i felt strong and well i would not mind it
she is kind to me but somtime i dont feel like dooing so much) Jeff looks bad he

aint none to much he has a mr somebody here quite often to supper and
stay all night) i wrote a letter to han yesterday and enclosed a short note to the honorable mr Heyde as i
received a very
lengthy epistle from him the other day i really think the world never produced such
another man or devil i think he is nearest the last named i wrote very short with no
compliment that was not surprised at his wishing to get rid of han that he had
expressed that wish many times before this letter but i had never made any reply not
wishing to interfere with family difficulties but in all probability he would get
his desire) he said every thing that he could say in his letter to me and he was
going away that he should take care of himself and she could take care of herself
that all the pleasure he had was with his fellow artists) George and smith and
