George
is
so engaged i told him i
would write A few lines
to you he wants you to
send those flannel shirts
here by express
he thought
he could get them better
from here than to send them to fortress monroe
i suppose Jeffy letter
announced the news
of his arrival he come at
last quite unexpected
although i had looked
for him every day for
A week but began
to think he would not come
he came about 11 Oclock
came in with his key and
came [cut away] in the
basement and could not
get in I have been in the
habit since you went away
of locking the basement door
so he went up stairs and
went to bed and said nothing
got up in the morning
and was busy fixing the
fire in my new stove
as he opened the door i
says Edd get your thick
boots without looking around
you may depend i was
so glad to see him i did
not know how to get
breakfast so we took it
upstairs and had buckwheat
cakes the folks doo as if
they would eat him up
he has invitation from
all quarters i told him
to day i hoped he would
get through his visits
he aint home much this
morning porter
came to
see him to night he has
gone to hear miss heron)
how are you walt i
hope you have got better
of that feeling in your
head verhaps
the wax
in your ears is got hard
that will sometimes cause
a deafness
a very little
sweet oil would releive
it
if its caused by that
write doo how you are
i hope you wont get sick
i feel quite well since
i have got better of my
cold I have had a letter
from Heyd and hanna
wrote part of it she was
rather better but it hurt her
to lean over to write heyde said
she was much better off there
than she would be here on
account of having a fire
i suppose on the same
frour
she wrote quite cheerful
said the doctor said he
wondered she dident
get better faster she said
she should not always
be sick the least sudden
moove hurts her so i
suppose it would be almost
impossible for her to
come at present i am
in hopes when the weather
comes warm she will get
better we expect mary

day Marthe
