i received your letter to day thursday with the money all right i thought it was a goner as i dident get it yesterday i couldent hardley give it up yesterday as you wrote in your fridays letter i would get your letter on wensday but it come to day very welcome
mr Burrous
has not been to see me i
was exspecting him every day after you
wrote
but he dident come) i have not heard
from jeff
nor matty
since i wrote last to
you)
edd
said the letter man asked
him to day why his mother dident get
any more letters i used to get so many
matty used to write quite often and
Jeffy once in a while but they have all
seemed to fall off)
but the good old
standby if he should fail me i should
have nothing to look for but i gess there
is no danger is there walter dear as long
as you have your old mamma i
often think how loth many is to have children
and what would become of me if i had none
Janey mc clure that is nanc s brothers
wife was here the other day she came
to see if cornell had been to see me
about the children she sends them the
most saucy letters they think if they should
doo any think
she would not be any too
good to kill her brother Edd thats the
one in the new court house)
i have come
to the conclusion there is but one way
to doo and that is to send them to the
nursery to flatbush
there is no institution
in the city that they would be taken as
they are janey thinks that is the only
place that she couldent get them out
i cant begin to tell and i dont want too
half the worse that wreched woman
does i dont know walter how you
feel about their being taken there
but i know that i should feel much
better than to have them sent out begging
it would be no disgrace as there
is many there that is of good parentage
there they would be clothed and fed
if they ever can be cleaned janey says the are
so dirty that you would not know they
were ever clean
i am about the same as usual feel quite smart at times
they are digging the cellar at georges lot he had it survayed yesterday
