the great trouble here is where to spend ones evening
there is no rescourse [resource] except the gambling saloons every one
resorts there and if you wish to see a friend you are bound
to see him in the evening but it is excedingly [exceedingly] tiresome and
and you cannot Imagine how I long for home at such
times but it is no use talking I dont [don't] alow [allow] myself to think
about it. Ive' [I've] got money to make first and I shall do it.
I have not seen Edward Shippen for some time he was an inspector
in the custom house where last I saw him at (120$ per month).
I was very sorry to see that Aunt Rachel is still troubled
with those same bad colds that she used to have scarcely
a winter passes with out an attack of the Kind thanks
to a good constitution she generally weathers the storm
those easterly storms in your country are terribly rocking
to the constitution.
Sue Ruan I see is well how I would like to see –
Murray at his old game of teasing her, what a wonderfull [wonderful]
time, she and Aunt Rachel must have with the
children, Ill [I'll] lay you a wages – now that the older children
care more for Aunt than they do for you if they dont [don't] things
are not as they used to be she used to always Keep a supply
of cakes or something of the Kind for my benefit (if I
had not have been a good boy how she would have spoiled
me )
Kiss the children for me and remember – your – Brother
to all enquiring [inquiring] friends
Yours
