Beckey has some things still on hand & if they could get back here & would try to get along in peace, might do very well as Mitchell is regarded here as being a superior Barber, & his wife as a good Laundress & Seamstress — She has 2 or three boys & has some considerable call for her services, as a Laundress &c — 

I am surprised that they should make application for transportation  I think that they can & ought to pay their own expenses — 

If they are in reality destitute they are in a different condition from what I supposed they were.

I know nothing of the Circumstances that led to the former rupture between these parties  Rebecca wanted to go after him & I gave her the enclosed letter to Mitchell hoping to bring them together again — but it seems from letters I hear Mitchell has written her that he wants to come back but don't mean to live with Rebecca — 

They have some things here  how much I don't know. They were not considered destitute — They are now in Washington D.C it is supposed.
