Dear Lill'
I have received
your welcome letters and
I would have hastened
to answer you long before
this time but for the same
reason which I think I
told you of in my last
letter which is that I am
not settled here, I shall
probally leave here at Christ[mas?]
as any work down here will
be finished by then, it is
almost finished now, for
I have got very little to do
at present and have been
so for some time, when I
am done here I think I
shall go to New York or
Philadelphia again and
if I don't get along there
I shall go back to Manchester.
