His entire system seems prostrated.  He asked "if you wrote who was to be Major" I told him "No."  Neither did I tell him what you said about the Adj't.  Now darling you do just what you think is right, & do not let the inquisitiveness of a few friend worry you, it is none of their business what you owe.  But I think Pirtle was telling what you owed him & Hosea thought he was not telling the truth.  He asked me but I had forgotten about the 80 you paid Farrington & did not know, But I did know that it was none of their business & that you had not squandered it.  Now for pity sake do not stint your self to send me money.  I cannot bear to think of you not having any thing you need, I would not enjoy what you would send me.  No always keep enough to get all you need.  I spend nothing needlessly yet I have all that I need, it is my duty not to do otherwise.  So do not be troubled about us.  Glenn is very kind. Mr & Mrs G. came down one evening & asked me about Baker's tretment of us & hers too.  I told them all about it but not to say any thing to make
