But I think it is a very pleasant place
in summer at least it looks as if it
would be I suppose that Sleighing is
very nice in Pittsburgh and you have
sleigh rides in abundance while I dont
suppose I must get along as well
as I can I suppose you are a little
interested about my affair here so I
will tell you something about them

an article and the buttons are kept
on I saw up my own wood I went down
town last night and bought me a saw
hatcher and some camphor I am sadly
off for boots mine wont mending and I
have not got anything to wear while I
get them mended If Mr Tinker has
sent up my boots I wish that you
would send them in that box that

hearts content. I have very little time
