i
will try once more to write
A line to say we are all about the same
only the
hot weather is disappeard in some measure
it was bad enoughf here we had awfull
bad smells mr hambler
said it came from
the privy s in pacific st the yards in that
street backs up to ours
but they are very
or quite respectable houses he said he had
complained to the board of health but
whither they have done any
thing or not we dont
smell it to day) the sewer i believe is not in
that street there is a water closet in this yard
when we came here it was all out of order
dident work at all I told the man I wished
he would have it fixed but he dident doo
it then i told the landlady it made me sick
every time i went in so after a while he
went to work and fixed it they are so fraid
of laying out one cent and want such A
high rent I paid him the rent last night
that makes fifty doll since we have been) here
we pay in advance i told george
300 dolrs
A year would help on a house its too much
rent but we couldent doo no better then
if we only had one more room or the
bedrooms were any size but they are
so small the rooms is very deep but
not very wide they are 40 feet deep
i got so many envelopes i shall have
to write whether im lame or not they
all come safe Walt and i was glad
to have them it is so handy to have in the hand
the money and the package all come yesterday
i think this letter carrier is very correct i
dont know whats the matter with matt
i havent had a letter from her in quite
a long time i expected one yesterday to be
shure i got one from mary it was for
matty but it was directed mrs Whitman
city hall care of mr lane
so they sent it here
she was to portsmouth
when she wrote
but was coming home and wrote for matt
to come to greenport
but i gess mat wont
go this summer) Edd
went down and
found where nancy
lived yesterday
she moved in the same st they are all
fat edd says and dirty but grow any
how he said the house looked better than
formerly i was glad to hear from them i have
thought about them often this hot weather
i feel to sympathise with mr Oconor
in his
getting a house i think its about the worst
and most disagreable fix any one can be
in Walt doo you know i like his writings
the good gray poet better than i doo borroughs book
Oconers shows the spirit its wrote
in i should form an idea of the man if i
had never seen him by reading his writing
i suppose you see that peice in the sunday
times as you dident say any thing about it
i will send it i wish september would
hurry up so you could come we will
make out for room so come as soon
as you can) george is pretty well now
