| Transcript | 415 9th Ave [Avenue?] July 6th 1876 Dear Father & Mother I arrived here yesterday a long journey I am greatly fatigued after the long ride I think I will not commence the baking as I would not be able to stand it at all & have not good health in this country since I came I like the country very well but it does not like me. I am about twenty pound failed since I have come here the times is very bad at present now Dan says he would not advise me to stay here Dan is very kindly he says that if I would commence to work and not to be stand it & loose [lose?] my health for by so I think I will not say very much about what time I will go but I will write after I got a letter from Mary she told me that if I would go Dan would lend me the money and you could send it, it is very hard to ask it from you Eddie has his wages pulled down from 12$ to 9$ it takes 6 of that to board & washing Mary & Kate lifted 40$ out of the bank after there could be nothing to do So if nothing comes up between this & Saturday week I think I'll have to start as I will have to for while & stop here I suppose. I will not say much more at this time, some future day. I remain your affectionate son John Hanlon. (Transcribed by Peter Best.) |
