User-Contributed Transcription I expect I do not fully understand your method for me to remit money to Mr. Keen, supposing you to have the funds ready to pay over to him, am I simply to route and send to him a check, draft, or whatever you call it, similar to the sample you sent? Is that it? But the Expense, Cost of Collecting, Discount, Bank Fees or whatnot, what about them? No expense should come out of him: or should the Draft be of amount to cover all this whatever it be? Moreover what be it? I wish you would write right off, and tell me all about it. Your retaining the $18.00 Eliab was sending for the watch was of course all right. His selling the watch was lucky. I wrote to Anne at Hartford near a week since. Received a letter from her a day Saturday yesterday, but written before she received mine. Her going off so far seems rather bad: I guess she is in good spirits however: and has a good prospect of some very favorable situation, but did not yet know where she should go. What is the reason Brother Charles is unlucky? My time is so much crowded nowadays. it is now getting late. I cannot write more this time. Will make it up some time. I hope you write me immediately. Aff. I.S.Funds run low here yet. Have got no wages on bills since June! More than $100.00 behind. I almost forgot the signature now Yrs' etc. I.S. Metcalf
