  Brooklyn My dear Walt

it seemed quite a treat to get your letter you are the only correspondente i have at present they seem to all dropped off i havent had a letter from Matty in a very long while except a few lines from Jeff from cincinnatta i havent had any word from him since his arrival home he promised he would write as soon as he arrived i told him if he was busy when he got back for matty to write because i wanted to hear but i have not got any if they have wrote to me i have not got it i think maybee they have and it has been taken and han too she promised in her letter she would never

 

be so long again without writing but i suppose they all have enoughf to doo without writing when one gets out of the way of writing its hard to get in it again matty was going to write to me so often she said before shee went away she would write every week i got the papers to day with the letter walter i like the chicago news very much i never saw one before i wish whenever you have one you would send it to me well walter dear we have leved to see another may day come and gone not as much moving as usual they say in the papers many has broke up houskeeping on the account of rents being so high i have been to look at several places george wants to get out of this place very much i went yesterday to look at one in carlton aven just out of fulton but it was no better nor any more room than we have here   and 10 doll more rent a month i would rather live here than there and all the places i have been to see was something that would make it disagreable in some way or other) here i can doo just as i like but of course there is some disagreable things but they are all as clever to me as they can bee) george has lots of fun about their calling me lady whitman the family that has come in up stairs has five children but i think she is very clean woman and the children seems orderly but they have to run up and down so there is some noise i told george yesterday i wasent going any where to look at any more houses but was going to wait for something to turn up i am quite lame in one of my knees i dont know what makes it so it pains me considerable i suppose it   must be the rheumatism settled there) sometimes i can hardly walk and then it will be better to day it feels quite bad on account perhaps of the appearance of a storm)

i suppose the impeachment is draging to a close george thinks Bingams speech is splendid just his sentiments exactly he said at dinner time) i havent read it yet their speeches is so long i hope this will not be so lengthy as the others poor old man i wonder how he feels it will be rather sad if he is convicted for all i suppose he hasent done right i see in the papers if he leaves he will be esscorted through the citys) walter you must have congratulations from all quarters poor old alcot he must be very old seems to me) you remember walt that sunday morning we couldent have him)

good bie walter dear  

mr Lane told george they had raised Jeffs salary to 6000 but i think it must be a mistake
