  My dear Walt

i received your letter and money and the chigacago news all safe and sound on tuesday i suppose you see in the papers of the suspension of roberts the postmaster his being short in his returns i believe is the cause of his suspension it seems hard to get honest people in the post offices the very place of all others that ought to be honest men but i have been very luckey lately have not lost any letter or money since the 5) sometimes i think they must have wrote to me from st lous and the letter has been taken but i dont know that they have written to me i have sent two letters to matty since i have got any from her mr Lane received one from Jeff last week i believ it was saying he was just about leaving for kentucky but i suppose he is home long before this) i must write to han again so as to stir up mr Heyde see if i get any more of his inteligent letters i should think it was almost time he blowed off again) well walt you washingtonians aint settled the president question yet i wish it was settled one   way or the other Edd came up stairs yesterday towards evening before the eagle came the eagle came down stairs and the man i think is a democrat he said to Edd the radicals were all down or something to that affect so eddy came up like mad saying they had cleared the buggers and he would never have any thing more to doo withe them i how doo you know he is clear he said it was in the eagle that it would be better to have no congress at all than to doo as they had it was quite amusing to see eddy is such a gale but when i got the paper i see how things were) well walt its storming again i suppose georgey will be home the poor man has to loose time but those that gets the most wages their time goes on george hasent been very well it is kind of bad work not reall work but it has been so wet and he has to get down in the pit to see to the cementing and he gets all mud sometimes and he dont favor himself much) well walter dear my paper is small i have plenty of paper but i thought i hadent much to write about this time so i wouldent take a whole sheet i dont get over my lamenes yet but i make out to doo around what has got to be done)

good bie walter dear

 

i have since i wrote this letter got one from Jeff and one from Matty Jeff sent me a letter on the 28th on his return home with 10 dollars which i have never received and the letter man says i never will get it now he had a letter with him and read it to me that jeff had sent to the post office he said it made him feel very bad as it was on his rout but if the letter ever came to the brooklyn post office it was taken before it came to him i think it is too bad i dont think but what the carrier is perfectly honest he has carried letters for 10 years) he said to day their is lots of theiving somewhere   he said if my son to st louis had sent a money order he would have got it for me with my signing my name i am very sorry i dident tell jeff to not send it in a letter he said he should send me some money when he returned i cant get it without any from the post office i wish they could have took it from somebody that dident want a new dress it was to get mamma a new gown never mind it might have been worse but its very provoking
