I can spare - I left in Holdens hands funds sufficient to more than pay all my bills there - and they were good - I wish you would get the papers and see that they are collected immediately and my bills paid there - Yet it is doubtful when I can get anything that I can spare from here - [Written?] a month I have had to pay over $100 to Sarah & George - I had $20 the other day that I was going to send to Sarah, but Mr. West present me an order for 20 dollars from George and I had to cash it and so she is out of it - Since I began to do business for myself I never was dunned and [diven?] so much for money as I have been for the last 2 months - I have over $1200 due, and cannot get enough to support my family, but have to run in debt - I am owing about half as much and every [note?] is in a great straight just at this moment for what I owe him - I want you should see what has been done with what I left with Holden, and take it and settle it and I will pay you for your trouble; My wife is not able to do anything;
