  Brooklyn 15 Dec 1867 Dear Walt

i thought i would write a few lines if it wasent sunday to say i got your letter with the ten dollars and am very much Obliged to you for it i hope i shant get in such A straet again for a little change there seems to be so many little things you think you want when you aint got anything to get with) we are all well Jeff has got well again he eats so heartily and late that i tell him he will feel it when he grows older sis is as fat as she can well be and hatty is well they are two troublesome children enoughf to be in one house i told hatty to day to not come down any more she is such a mischieveous girl i get up very early and that seems to be the only time i can get my work done but they will be older and i hope better one of these days Well Walt georgee has got nearly   over his quiet spell and seems like old times again i hope it wont occur again very soon i cant bear to have any body so and not know what is the cause i thought of every thing i had said if i had said anything to give him reason but i dont think i did any thing) he is getting along pretty well with his work they have got another job not very extensive a house to fit up in warren st i dont think they will make a great deal out of the job in new york but it is only my surmise George dont say much about it they have taken up 1000 dollars and George says he has paid it all out but perhaps they will do better than i think)

i am going to write to han i have left the dinner table standing to write this and will write to her as there is a lull in the young fry department i wish that you would write to that man about jim he certainly is going to destruction i wrote a note to nancy to ask her if she would fix him up but she nor him has not been here since she has very many things given her that she might do very well
