we have lived
to see something that never was
i
suppose known before in america
the impeachment) i think it rather
sad but notwithstanding exactly as
it should be i suppose the excitement
at washington is far greater
than here the copperheads
here is all
for fight that a war will be
25 Feb 68
the result some great politician
down town wanted to bet
yesterday that the impeachment
would not take place so our
georgey
took him up told
him he would bet him that
andrew Johnso would be impeached
in ten hours from that time
the gentleman backed down
after putting his hand in his
pocket to take out his money
george came home on sunday
morning very unexpected as
i dident look for him till next
saturday he came something about
the iron of the pipes he rejected
as unfit) i got your letter walter
yesterday monday with 5 dollars
i was glad to have it walt but
i doo think sometimes you send
me more than you can afford
and more than i ought to expect
but mamma appreciates it if she
dont make many [illegible] walt you
wrote about your peice in an
english magazine
that you got
50 d in gold its first rate to handle
gold in these days
but i want
to know what peice it was i
thought of every one and could
not make out what peice it was
when you write again i wish you
would tell me all about it
but the gold is quite a new thing
to be paid in these days) i think we
will get the galaxy and see Oconors
peice
if its as stupid as his others
i dont think it will be worth
25 cts i dont see into his writing
such peices as he writes i should
think him capable of writing
something more substancial
a man that can converse as he can
well davis was here last sunday he gave a good account of the st louis folks he says jeff is much better there than here it agrees with him better and he thinks matty will be all right when they get settled he says they all felt the effects of the change of climate its affect is a kind of diarea he says he thinks matty will like it better there than here when they get to housekeeping it is in the neighborhood of general Shermans house that was presented to him) and a nice sckool near he davis looks very well indeed says he is very glad he went out there that he and Jeff has worked very hard but have got through the worst of it aint it been cold Walt i gess it has been stinging here but its quite moderate to day) i have heard nothing from aunt fanny i suppos she is living yet) the last speech of stephens that was read before the impeachment was good very indeed)
i am pretty well good bye walt dear
