  7 June 1866 Dear Walt

i have just receeved your favor as the business men say enclosing 3 doller every thing comes correct lately sometimes i am almost inclined to think the old letter carrier was the guilty party this present one said the old one resined may bee he had too) it is now about 11 oclock matty has been out hunting for a girl i doo hope she will get one) for i help her somtimes when i feel hardly able to stand up she has very much to doo but it has got to such a pass that she depends to much on me if i felt strong and well i would not mind it she is kind to me but somtime i dont feel like dooing so much) Jeff looks bad he dont complain but i think he ought to have a month of leave from all cares and anxieties his salary has   been put up to 200 doler a month but their expences is very great i dont know what davis will pay probably 50 per month it aint none to much he has a mr somebody here quite often to supper and stay all night) i wrote a letter to han yesterday and enclosed a short note to the honorable mr Heyde as i received a very lengthy epistle from him the other day i really think the world never produced such another man or devil i think he is nearest the last named i wrote very short with no compliment that was not surprised at his wishing to get rid of han that he had expressed that wish many times before this letter but i had never made any reply not wishing to interfere with family difficulties but in all probability he would get his desire) he said every thing that he could say in his letter to me and he was going away that he should take care of himself and she could take care of herself that all the pleasure he had was with his fellow artists) George and smith and french the mason has bought 5 lots on portland ave opposite the arsenal 950 a lot going to put up brick houses i think george will get married he thinks he is very sly but murder will out
