| Transcript | 712 South 12th Street Philadelphia 5th February 1870. Dear Bob I drop you a few lines to say the Deed is now all right in your name. I was in a state of great uneasiness for a week as I was afraid of Joe's wife, however I am glad that it is now out of her power, but do not you sign your name to any paper for Joe, or anyone else, that would involve you in debt, as what property I have here is all in your name, & it could be seized for any debts you might contract. I warn you of Joe because I don't think he is doing right, and as very often he hardly knows what he is doing, he might sometime try to persuade you to put your name to some paper that would involve you and I in difficulty. Write me a few lines what you are thinking of starting for Home, if you are spared to reach it, what an agreeable surprise it will be for Father and Mother, do not be spending any money for Clothes, as you can buy them cheaper at the other side if you want any. It seems my Mother has been very sick for two or three months but is now rather better, I believe Johnny Stewart owes for Butter and Eggs all the country round, and he drinks not by the Glass but by the Pint, write soon and let me know your intentions. Your Affectionate Brother James |
