Home, Jan 22, 1879 My dear Sister -- I am sending in this Rev. J.R. Griffith's Article -- we think it very good indeed, but not just what expected. I believe, from him. George went to the village Monday evening and brought a letter from Jennie written last week -- also one from br. Eddie. He was not very well when he wrote -- had not been in the store for two days. A bilious attack and a cough -- he and was better and hoped to go in the store the next day. I have received $4 for the old debt this week -- am sending to the village this morning to May Snider bill - $3.98 -- he had [?] this bill the second time this week. Mr. [?] gave us the missing statement. [?] he was here. If you have not received any money from Eddie you had not better return the check -- we do not wish you to scrimp yourselves -- we can get along, and the people around here know us and can [?] us a little longer. If ever you need spending money it is when you are in the City and see so many things which you cannot get at any other time. What sshall I do about having these payments acknowledged in the Centadwr? be sure and let me know in time. Will May send me some med.
