and there seemes to be A lull
in the confusion so I thought I
would take the chance to write A few
lines
to say I received your
letter on wensday and the money
all safe so on the strenght of
the 5 dollars I went down town for
the first time sinc I have been
up here I felt quite strange
george
gave me A great charge
to be carefull I thought I
should go and see aunt
becca
but it got so late I
dident
go while I was waiting for the
car who should I see but
georgee he had been to
court he was suppeaned—
something about some work
that the parties couldent agree
so he put me in the car and
i was glad to get out of the
bustle I have lived in the
country so long
it seemed
quite strange i suppose Walt

Jeff
was gone away and
i sent it by davis if you
have not got it the 10 dollar

as that if you can)
george

quite strong and you
may depend i dont loose
an opportunaty to put
in a few words in favor

day and plasterers 6 dos
