i
have got
your letter to day with the
money order i have been
down and got the money
this time all was well)
i dont know as i should
have gone down to day as
it was election day but
jeffy
sent me a letter
about 2 weeks ago with
5 dollars in and i never
received it i had a letter
from him last week saying
if i had not received
it to go to the post office
and enquire i knew it
would be of no use but
i did ask simonson but
it was the old story it
never come here or you
would have got it)
it seems to be a fate on
it every time Jeff sends
me any money its stolen
i wrote three letters to maty
thinking it so strange i
got no answer but Jeff
wrote last week that matty
wasent very well i suppose
she has bad spells and
then she gets better again)
well walt i have had
two letters from the honorable
Mr Heyde well we wont
say any thing of the bad but
tell of the good he says
han received my letter
with one dollar and she
cant get ready to come
to brooklyn till about
christmas that she drudges
about that her thumb is
very sensitive to the cold)
that the neighbors is very
kind and sympathecic when
she was sick)
then if he
had stopped and not
wrote any more the leter
would have been quite
acceptable but we let the
balance go for what its
worth i was glad to hear
from han even from him
George has been home came on saturday and staid untill to day to vote he got me two tons of coal and had taxes to pay and he wished me to say to you walter that the 1 of next month he thought he could pay you all up as smith will make some arrangements to dispose of all or part of the house he said he could send you 50 dollars this month if you had need of it but if you dident he would get an overcoat

he said you must write if you had use for it and he would not get the coat untill the next pay he is dooing very well now but if Goodrich is elected he thinks the ring will be broke up as he is very much down on the water board i have got the stove fixed and it does real good and the coal burns very good so you see walter dear i have a warm room and money in my pocket if i could get rid of the rheumatism but there must be something or we should get too much attached to this world) good bie to night walter dear) little charley down stairs is very sick the doctor comes twice a day the old lady has gone to mobeal to see a son she has living there
