How is your dress and hat
getting along - by the way? Have
you had them commenced yet?

I am glad that Ed can now
settle up his liabilities. I regret
though, that circumstances pre-
vent his settling his accounts
or anything less than dollar
for dollar.

The morning dawned with
sunshine, but I fear that before
night falls we shall have
rain. By the pools of water in
the roads I judge it has
rained last night.

Please write next time
before the close of the week. I
was tempted to delay this
letter until next Sunday,
but your presents yesterday [broke?]
my firm resolutions & I find
myself today at my old tricks -
"writing home on Sunday." The boys
the house are as grateful to you for the can[dy?]
as I am.

Goodly - Fred
