Dear Madam
As John desires
that I should write to you
to let you know his circumstances
when I last wrote to you
he would not let me do
so the winter was very bad and
he done little or no work
and now he is not able as
he has lost power of his left
hand and there is no chance
of him working for a long time
[..?] and as he has stopped in
our place since he came to this
Country we could not see him
hard up and he owes us quiet [quite?]
a bile [pile?] the amount is very
near 100 dollars which would
be a great loss to us and so [?]
told me to write to you it would
be all right
