send - possibly $230 if you sned $400 I am looking for that $38 insurance money sum and will use that to pay Phoneta the $30 I borrowed.

I will be sure to save enough to pay the insurance coming due Dec. 8 — ($52.89) You must not worry about me being extravigant - I do not spend any more than I have to. Of course it takes a great deal to run this house and keep a girl, etc, but the little debts are paid up and we have clothes for the winter — nearly enough — so I can save for the notes coming due.

I want to do a little more [?] to try and get well before you come back. My ankles have pained me so much this summer I am about discouraged.

Psyche is ever so much better. One can hardly notice the twitching on her now. She will not be fit to go to school though. The State G.A.R. meets here next week and the schools have been post-poned until the 20th of Sept. on account of it.

The [?] still keeps very warm. We had a small rain night before last. Narmie from [?] is here spending a week. She was in Minn. visiting
