here comes another
letter Edd says he s tired carrying
letters yesterday i wrote one to
mary and one to hanna i promised
mary if i heard any thing from
hanna i would write to her
she wanted very much to see
Heydes letters but i told her they
would only excite her and make
her feel bad that i dident put
any faith in what he wrote
they are very insulting
but i take them from whence they
came i wish han was something
like young chappells wife
up
stairs here he is awfull at times
wishes to god he could find her
dead when he come home she
dont know i suppose i hear
him swear at her the other night
he made a great noise i thought
he had knocked her down but i
gess he dident the next day she was
singing and lively as usual she
says he has an awful temper but
it goes in one ear and out the other
her mother lives in brooklyn has her
second husband she was in my
room the other day she said janey
deserved a better lot that her father
was a minester i think they are from
the south but janey gives as much back
as she gets she goes to her mother and
stays a week or two edd says he
told him he liked to be alone)
