i write a few lines to say i received a letter from heyde yesterday they all jeff and all set in for me to send the letter to you and i thought i would last night but to day i thought better of it i thought it would only put you out of temper as it did all of us) he first began with saying hanna was so she came out to the kichen and eat her meals but she is very far from complete recovery she is very frail constitutionally yet her hand or rather her thumb by what he says is quite bad and the flesh scrinks from the bone) this may all be true probably is) then he goes on to say that she is better off with him that any change would not benefit her or to that affect with his highfullatin phrases) well now for the second act) he says he received a very stupid letter from Walt addressed to han which he humanely concluded not to deliver to her and then he goes on to quote the first part of the letter he says it ran thus) i suppose my dear sister   you are by this time perfectly recovered and the next) what a stupid man and the balance he says is about nothing himself stuff i am out of patience let him stay in washington he has but small credit here i dont want to see him)

all this i have copied from his letter except where i marked above now walter what doo you think such a man is capable of doing i hope you have or will write to the Doctor and if you can go on there i should be glad matty says she makes no doubt the letter he kept from her was the one you spoke of her getting well enoughf when you came that she could come back with you i shall write to her and i shall write to him he is a very bad man very very but Walter dont lets think of him if han was away from him i should never want to hear his name again) we are having quite a snow storm to day here Jeffy and matty did think of going to Boston on monday next they will go to st louis is a couple of weeks it will be much the best for them and i shall be releived of a great care they will board martha is better than when she came but she cant doo much the children is trouble enoughf there is three girls down stairs and a jolly hous we have i tell you i am pretty well but get almost worked down
