St. Nicolas Dist.  Dec. 12th 1868

Mr. Kimball
Dear Sir,
As I am in want of money I am under the necessity to ask you to send me the sum due me for the last month - I would not write for it unless I stood in need of it.

Also please send me about ten envelopes to send my reports in as I have not one to send my next report in 
and oblige yours Respectfully
William H. Foster
of St. Nicolas Dist. of St. Marys. Co. Md
1868

Transcription Notes:
mandc: Apparently it was the filling practice of the receiving office to fold letters over vertically (see crease down the center of sheet) and write the summary (see previous page) on the outside of the letter.
