Ma, I was really glad to receive a few lines from you. It does me good to trace the lines from your pen, but indeed, I was sorry to learn that you were not getting along as well (with that old man) as I hoped and trusted you would. I did hope you would be out of debt an trouble in regard to money affairs before this time, but so it goes when their is nobody to do anything. I hope you will not suffer for anything do not by any means while the money I sent home lasts, use what you want,and keep an acc't of it. it may not be worth its full face by time we get home. Any how use what you need. I wish I could get a furlow and go home and see how you are getting along
