i will write a few lines once more before you come i got your letter on saturday i havent heard from st louis since i wrote to you so i suppose they are about the same or perhaps better than when i last heard) neither have i heard from georgey he left some money for me to put in the bank as the bank was shut when he came from new york after i put it in he wanted me to send him a line of the amount invested as the bank book was at the bank to have the interest cast up so i got the man to put it on a paper the whole amount and i sent it to him
there aint much new walter dear with
me i am limping around as usual
the paper man is fixing the hall
has been a week at it but is nearly
finished i have had a real job had
to take up all the stair carpit have had
a woman to scrub and i hope to get
it down this week georgeys house is
kept in good condition it wouldent
be if i wasent here it would soon
look like a tenant house i have kept
the two last months rent but have paid
every cent of it on the house)
and he
dident give me a cent the two last
times he was home he asked me if
i wanted any of course i said no
as he took out 30 dollars and said to
his wife that had to last or asked her
if it would last them a month she said
they would get some from lowel
i said i had an order from walt
that would last me) but walt for
all that George would never se me
want i have too high an opinion of
him to think he would ever shirk in any
way if i was needy) but they want very
much to get this house clear
and i want
him too as its a nice place
