Dear Father and Mother

  Friday Dr. handed Cynthia a note from home which no suppance? was inclosed in a letter to him containing a draft. Perhaps they have acknowledged the receipt of it before this; if not, I am sorry we did not Saturday. Could you send us a little more spending money, it seems as though I was asking more far soon but I hardly know what to do as we have got entirely out. The dressmakers bill was $3; we borrowed it of one of the patients to pay her and today I intend to see if I can borrow some of Mr. Wood to pay her for I had rather be indebted to him than to a stranger. I think the things that Jennie and Anna got will be a great comfort to me for it
