i cant write much this time walter as i have to get tea against jeff and matt comes up from down town i liked your letter walt all but one thing and that was about your coming you dident say any thing about that dont you think you can come Walt i doo so wish you can i know you will if you can get away) the weather is quite moderate now but we got through the cold quite well considering it was so cold matt could not stay next door so they moved in with me till yesterday i feel quite smart i am taking the medicine yet it makes me have a better appetite and i think helps me as a general thing i received mr Oconor present with the letter and am very gratified to him and shall   read it with much pleasure i make no doubt as the evening is so tedious as i cant work much if i doo my arm will pain me and i dont have much to read now george is gone he used to get the papers i take the old eagle mr Oconor is very kind in remembering me if he takes as much pleasure and i have reason to think he does in sending them as i doo in reading them we are both well paid i have not heard from george since he went away but shall expect him home next week)
