Philadelphia [7] mo 19 1883
My own dear wife
[---] finished on the 18th at hand. I am very glad to hear you are all well that is the family and am sorry the maids are not so. What seems to be the matter? And does Dr. Cleveland think either the sickness or the children arose from the Water? I am very sorry dearest thee has had so much trouble about the water and it seems to me a keg will not be large enough for daily wants for drinking and cooking and as it is a very very large one and if not it seems to me it would be better either to get Stephen Barker to hand a hand daily or to make an arrangement to hire his wagon and harness early every morning and for John to go for it. I hired the wagon and harness to go into Newport for 50c and he would probably make a much cheaper
