[damage] Friday, of course I could not do it, but I was very sorry when I learned that you wer​ were​ not coming down Saturday as you predicted when you went away, but we have not been lonely, for we have had the Englishman with us ever since your departure; he has also taken his departure to day, for Egg Harbor, I believe, he is counting on having you with him through the fall months or at least he said he was. [damage] I rather   think the mosquetos​ mosquitoes​ are too thick for me down there.

Mont and I went to "turkey" camp Sunday [damage] the [damage] with the [damage] four times and got all the money they wanted and then they would not shout, dont you think that they wer​ were​ awful mean? I do, I saw one of them today, and he asked me if I was coming any more, and I told him that I hat​ had​ went my last time, and he asked me how it was and pretty darn quick told him, he said it was rather mean but "de broders did not get de [damage] might, I said [damage]   in dar pocket didn't they? and he said yes. They are darned humbugs, and ought [damage] to [damage] folks are. [damage] is trying to crawl back to me now but he can't do it he has "cooked his goose" with me now.

I like working at the office very well. It has given me such an awful apetite​ appetite​ that Mother says that I will eat her out of house and home, if I keep on, that is a good sign isn't it?

The folks are all well and myself [damage] in [damage] like   a thrashing—[damage] Mother is down stairs, talking [damage] dad's [damage] the old [damage] June bugs—dad's been to town to day and—bought himself a new suit of clothes.

Well as this is the second letter I have writtene​ written​ this evening and I am run out of news, I will have to stop.

Your Loveing​ Loving​ Friend, H.L. Stafford

P.S. Write soon and lit​ let​ me know how you are
