It is perhaps as well for I may want to improve? the place in way of buildings, and it would not unclear to Miss L. for me to put out very much cash from my lean purse on property I hold no interest in whatsoever. Don't worry about the matter unclear. I was delighted to unclear you did send and [[unclear] very pretty album, I enclose a unclear for your xmas, wish I could send you something worthwhile but earnestly? am trying to mend the past and save enough to gro us a comfortable home, and when we have that you may make up your mind to share it, and you'll find unclear as contented persons as you care to meet.
