especially live in this manner, warrant their goods or money refunded. Ellen, you spoke of albums, I am [so one?] of the finest albums sell at Avetion for $1,2,3,84, but they were handsome double claps, inlaid with pearls, in one of the auctions stores on Chestnut street there are thousands and thousands of them for auction, I can get one some time when I stop in I pass the place every day, It is a little warmer today, but it seems more like April than May. Well, Ellen if you go to Boonstone this summer I want you to have some more Photographs taken & send me one, I had none taken in the city, nor I do, nor expect to, because if I have none I cannot give any away, I hope this will find you all well, so no more at present, if you get the measles do not put on me for sending them because I am not now under their influence, I hope in a few days my eyes will be strong enough for me to study again. From Your Brother Milton
