  My dear Walt

i received your letter to day with the nice envelopes all stampd so nicely i feel as if i ougth to write a nice letter the first that i saw of those stamped enpelopes i dident know whether they were the lawful or bogus ones i sent Edd next door when Mr ray kept a jewelery store to get some and he got those and i was so green i had to ask george if they would go and to tease me he told me letters wouldent go with them envelopes i told him i gave 4 cent a peice for them and they ought to be good then he said he gessd theyed go i am glad to hear you have been so well this summer walter it is quite warm here and terribly dusty i am in hopes it will rain as it has the appearance of it george has been to the country for three days he went up in the glen cove boat to roslin and went out sailing and fishing and had a pretty good time i believe whethe his gal went with him or not i dont know he got back sunday   night and is inspecting on the small pipe to day as the large has not come yet he and mr Lane seems to get along very well jeffy wrote to me after he was home that george would not be discharged as long as mr Lane was there george might save something i think if he was saving but these bad gals and amusements takes the green he s saving enoughf toward me i know i dont know how he would be if you didint send me so much but i think i shouldent get along so well if i depended altogether on him) O walt i feel sometimes like the irish when you give em any thing they always say long may you live and be blessed) but i dont know as i ought to complain of george he dont know how much it takes to keep house he is very good to me so long as i dont interfere with his affairs) the house is getting along very well they are putting up the stairs now so you dident like your new place as well as the old one well a person will get attached to any place where they live a long time)

i am pretty well now i have been troubled with a pain in my side but i put mustard on and it is better but very sore) walter dear if you send me a money order next week i wish you would put a dollar in with it
