i have got this
letter by times it is only half past 12
on monday and i have got it the one
was mailed on sunday i mean
and i couldent rest contented
untill i wrote to let you know
i had got it with the 5 dollar and
i got one on saturday with 2 doller
so you see i can stand another snow
storm and be comfortable but i dont
think it will be much of a storm
this time) also i got all the papers
last
week and have got three to day with
the letter the letter man is most too
clever the 50 cts and i have given him
25 since) i find giving such people a small
sum once in a while does much good
and i always say thank you when he
gives me a letter i dont know what
i would have done yesterday without
those papers i had harpers weekly
and
the papers so i got through the day quite
well) i got a letter from matty
to day
she likes it very well there now she
has got acquainted with some of the
boarders one lady invited her out to ride
in a beautiful carriage she says she has
been so awfull homesick she has got over
in in some measure but i expect matt
wants to see me she misses me more
than she thought she should but when
they get keeping house she will get
better contented there is a first rate
school near where they are going to live
so hattee
can go i would send the letter
but
i think she will write to you herself soon
well Walt molly hasent come yet i
expected her sure them fine days last
week i wrote two letters to her saying in the
last one we should expect her the first good
day) i wish i could get a letter from han
i wrote very particularly about it
that you wrote often to her that we
supposed she got them but we never
heard from her and i wanted her to come
this spring and make us a good visit
but i have not had any answer)
george is away yet i looked some for him yesterday but he dident come mrs Hageman where he used to board was buried yesterday i dident know she was sick till i see her death in the eagle (the old eagle how i dislike it yet i take it if i dident see any other paper i should think andy was perfection and all the rest was crushed general grant in the bargain) he must be a bad man i like the chronicle very much) i was in hopes mrs Oconor had returned for his sake if he is not very well it would probably make him more comfortable) matty says Jeffy is much better there than in brooklyn he is in very good spirits and glad they came i have expected davis all last week but he is to come this week matty says) but they will eventually she says settle in brooklyn i hope soon to say something about mooving we are getting rather to many in this house for mammas ideas good luck to you walter dear dont you remember your poor old father always wished that wish to every one
good bie LW
