Dear Elizabeth,
I have delayed writing to you till now for I have been
expecting come up all the time, but I haven’t had any time to as yet. We are keeping house here and have been since
the 5th of this month and I have been very busy. While washing the house, painting and paper
it too.
I was sued for $65 here last week. I had my name to a note that White gave a man
here in town and I had forgot all about it.
I haven’t paid it yet. I don’t know what to do about it. They parties got a judgment against me for the
amount and I suppose if I have anything they will take it. White hasn’t said a word to me since I’ve
been here.
I haven’t been to Rockford yet, but I shall as soon as I
have any money to have the things down here so as I can send them away. I shall send you $1.00 in this letter which
is all the money I have at present with the exception of some change. I should send you more if I have it. Frances wants me to give you an order on
Allen for that $3.00 by the way. I think
I will and you can give to someone to get it for you.
I am very sorry that Robert Williams went away the way he
did. But he is as mean as I always
thought he was. When I come up I shall
bring the letter he wrote to me and let you see it. I have done as much for him as wish to and he
never thanks me for it.
I shall write you again middle of the week and I may go to
Rockford. I am going to write to John this week.
Yours truly,
Edwin
Frances wants me tell you that she never felt so well as she
has since she has been down here. She
walked home and back the other day.
Edwin
