I received your draft of $400 one day last week and we were glad to get it. The girls had been waiting for new clothes, we were out of every thing nearly, and I promised them that they could have new shoes, hats, & dresses when the money came. So yesterday I took Psyche and Helen down town and we made the money fly for awhile. I did take so much to buy just what we all needed. I bought me a new dress for winter too. Will pay [?] out of this and the grocery bills, and Seba. I had to borrow some of her lately, and will have over half left. I try to be saving, but it takes so much to keep a larger family and clothe us all, but then we might as well have something once in a while when we can get it.
I will not attempt to send Ella any of this as I think I ought to keep what is left to live off of next month and pay the $52 on Insurance.
