and the latter in my pocket, where, I'm sorry to say, it can't remain 
for a permanent visit. However, all is as well with me now as I could 
wish, considering justly how little I deserve. I did 'bang up' at Terre 
Haute, and 'brought down' not only 'the house,' but a brace o' girls it 
would soothe your eyes to see. Hope to be able to show you their 
pictures by the time you next come over. Am just out of coal again, and 
the room's as cold as an unlined coffin with the lid off. Ven my 
bruttah, who iss lots money vaint, come fon Pittsburck I vill see you 
lattah, J.W.R." With the original envelope addressed in Riley's hand
