said that you spoke
to her about a place that you thought you
could get for me in the Journal Office and as
I have been thinking some of leaving my place
here I thought I would ask you something about
it. Can you tell any where near what I would

this winter for several reasons
one of them is that he wants me to work untill
11 or 12 every night and also all day Sunday.

and all of the folks
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
Your Affectionate Brother
