June 30, 1875
 Dear Son
   With much pleasure received your kind letter.I am not very well.I 
understand from your letter that you wish for me to take my means out of your 
hands.That would be a perfect shock to me.I do not know what to do with it.I 
have all confidence in your taking care of it for me.If I had it here some one 
would take it from me.I will be advised by you how to proceed with it.Try to 
take care of it for me if you think it is not safe to loan it out take care of 
it.Suppose I could loan it here but would be giving it away.I wish I could see 
you to talk all about it.Would it be safe to put it in the bank or not.I know 
you have been troubled with it a great deal and I am willing to pay you for 
your trouble all the time you have had it and thereafter.I received a letter 
from Hopkins yesterday. He is well and well pleased with his school.I have 
been looking for you ever since I came back home.I would be glad if you could 
come and see me.I have no way to get to your house and at this time I have the 
rheumatism very bad of nights and cannot come.Please take care of my little 
matters and I will pay you for your troubles.If you cannot take care of it 
son, I will try to do the best I can with it.I will be advised by you when you 
will come.I hate to ask you to come when you have so much to do.Give my best 
regards to Martha Ann and the children and accept the same.

From your mother 
Malinda K. Wade 

Helen is coming to see you this summer.Hopkins ask me if I received the 
barefoot you sent me. I did not. Let hear from you soon.
