Mr. E.S. Martin,
I am very sorry indeed you have <the> <> a bad opinion of me, as for wanting any of your fancy <> as you call them I never thought of <changing> them if any one has <listed> that I wanted to get things in an <> <> way or take any thing you did not want me to <leave> I have been <misrepresented> and you have done me <injustice> by writing as you <did> but <true> friendship i find is very seldom <appreciated> I never knew what the <> cost if you
told me at the time I have forgotten for I did not think it cost over ten dollars. I asked Mr. Martin if he wanted to sell me some pieces of furniture he said he would I said I will make out a list and if you want to sell any on the list you set your price and if it suits us we will take them he set his price we went around and <paid> the <sum> we found we could get new for almost the price he asked for of course we said we would not take them, so I selected a few things out of the list and said I would take when you wrote about the <> <> and I told (crease) <> <> I did not wish to take it because you did not want to sell it and I did not want it to hang <>
the <> I mentioned to you in my first letter when you answered it you said nothing <about> it after <speak> about your <arch> <curtain> you said any thing else I could <arrange> with him, so I said I would take the <> <kitchen> stove Parlor <carpet> and <> fitted in the sitting room and stair <case> for the <Back> <stairs> that is all I said with some coal more to <accommodate> him about the coal for it will have to be around all summer the <> <> on the <month> I have not <> yet you are welcome to it for I would not have it <under> your <> wanted me too I can buy a <> it was not necessary for you to <write>
<Memorial> <fort> such our <> August 23 1864 <se-ting> letter to me I <earned> <> the <Love> <curtains> under the circumstance if we had not made our <full> arrangements in moving we would not take the <> now I wish we had not. I would not take it now if <> would say so. I do not <move> before <next> week your <> only <moved> the things today I told Angie to take the <> off the mantle so I suppose they will take care of it.
