Dear Emma:
  Enclosed you will find a Post Office money order for $40. Will you please sned this to Bogart and I will send the next the next month if I do not get in a hole. 
  There are thousands of troops passing through here the las few days, so we have been busy from daylight until long in the night. The rainy weather has made it very hard traveling, but the fighting is going on fine. 
  I would rather you do what you think best in regard to selling any of my work for your own good. You see, almost two months pass before you could get an answer to business of that kind. I would rather you do what you think is right. And it it is to relieve your mind of worry, I will gladly agree to it and your judgment. I know that Bogart and Keeler had these bills, but they are the only two. There are no more. And I hope that I c can save a little from my allowance to meet this. I sent a letter yesterday and a photograph of the Foyer. I think, Paul and Monica, you could have a letter around and every day write a alittle something and when the day comes to mail, your letters will be ready to send. You see, I get no mail from anyone and so far not much from you.

Lots of love,
Solon

P.S. I am sending $50. ? (*Check original)
