thank you for your kindness and our little Dick he is very wild and goes to
school and it is my desire and prayer for him to grow up a useful man i wish
you would try to gain some information from Norfolk and write me word how the
times are there for i am afraid to write i wish yoo would see the Doctor for me
and ask him if he could carefully find out any way that we could steal little
