i have not gone to
burlington yet
but if nothing occurs i shall
go next monday i have not felt able to
go through the hot weather but as it is cooler
now i think i can stand it
i wish Walter you
would write to hanna and tell her i will
come on monday next if nothing prevents
George thinks he will go as far as troy
and then come for me when i return)
which
will be before very long george will go
to mrs hegamens
to board and edd will
stay here martha has very much to
doo she has been foolish enoughf to take
2 or 300 dozens of shirt fronts and she cant
get them stichedstitched every girl is full of work
so she and jeff has set up every night till
midnight to work i think she will be
perfectly satisfied when she gets this lot
done to not take any more sis almost
lives down here, she thinks very much
of orgee as she calls her unkle george
i suppose you got Jeffs letter saying
about George wanting to get in the
custom house he would like to get in
i suppose very much
he and A man
by the name of smith has been talking
of buying some lots and building A shop
and 2 houses but he says that would
not prevent him from going in the
custom house if he could get the appointement
he seems
to feel as if he ought to be
earning something i dont ask for but
very little but he would give me if
i asked for it i know. but i thing he
wants to doo something with what money
there is) of course you know Walt i wouldent
make any fuss about it he has earned it
hard and it rightly belongs to him and
if he can doo better with taking i would rather
he would if i only had some place to
live i am very tired of living here it
is very disagreable in many ways
Georg
thinks maybee we can get some small
house but rents is so very high well
i gess i wont worry i dont believe
i shall ever want i hope you will
keep well walt i was glad to hear you
boarded with mrs gracon i should think
it would be much better) i have fixed
up georges room and put a carpet in
so he can take his friends up when he has
them come) i want you Walt to send
me a little change this week as you have
done heretofore and when i get to
hans
i wish you would send me five
or six dollars at different times about two
dollars at a time i may want to get some
little things for her i believe i have
said all i want too i have heard
nothing from poor Jess and as to
Andrews
children Jimmy brings them up here
sometimes
poor little objects of misery
they live i give them things when
they come
those criticisms on the press are all right
