  6 March 1868 My dear Walt

i thought i would write again this week to tell you i had received the letter with the money order all come safe and sound we have got through the dreadfull storm but the water is frozen up that makes it bad and we come pretty near getting out of coal but it held out till after the storm got a little settled and i got some) with the 5 that came in my last letter) George went to Camden yesterday morning to take a contract from the commissioners here to the foundry to camden he had to witness the signing here and then witness the signing there if they dont commence work he will   be back saturday morning if they doo he will stay till mr Lane sends an inspector out and then he is to inspect the new main he paid my rent and gave me 2 dollar to last me till i received the order which i have got) but Walt i have got enoughf to last till i can go down and get it cashed

well Walt i gess you will be surprised when i tell you who has been here to day and stayed to dinner no other than mrs price and helen they have just gone i was very glad to see them helen helped me get dinner and made some nice tea and bread and butter and peaches and cake and mince pie and it did mrs price so much good   she seemed to really enjoy it i had to insist upon her staying she said she had quite a family home but i insisted on her taking of her had and so did helen so they stayed till 2 oclock she looks first rate she is very much better she says) it is amusing to hear her tell about the times they have had over in there the greatest fuss i should think immaginable i suppose you know the doctor Jenne husband is a divorsed man with his first wife living with one child it seemes it was a love mach and after a while the doctor got set against her couldent bear her so he went west and got   a divorce and came back and married Jenne if you never heard about it dont let on)

while george was out to camden he had an invitation to conell Sheppards marriage he sent the wedding cards to the office to the hall and they sent them on to him he has married one of the vandebilts worth no end of money george says i told him he ought to have gone) i am feeling pretty well i hope this will find you the same Walter dear

i have wrote a pressing letter to hannah urging her to come and make us a visit i thought perhaps the easeyest way
