you would come and see me but you are to
poor I do not see as there
is much use it would
just be an outlay for
nothing. I can do with
little money here for
we do not get a chance
to spend much all I want
of I is to buy my tobbaco
and have my washing done
I am glad to hear that
it does not cost much
