your letter this morg. I am not going
out to day my face is so bad. David
Yates came in the other night after
dark and as I had the tooth ache
very ill he asked me if I would god
to Faulkners so I consented and got
the tooth out and I think I caught
cold in the {?Ge????} for I have scarcely
had 3 hours intermission from pain
since wch is three days. There is neither
parcel nor letters for you here. I have
made your cast offs fit me, and I am
much obliged to you for your kind offer
of an old pair of shoes.
You must ask {^my} Papa to send [deleted] a pound
note of mine or else give me an order [illeg]
my Uncle for the same my money is almost
done I have not above 3/- left

I do not understand “what you mean
“by my getting what I can and what
“I get I to hold” I can send you no money.
Uncle’s family are all well
I can scarcely hold up my head so
you must excuse my writing &
I remain yours very sincerely

Telling him all about his tooth-ache and the resulting appointment with Faulkner's that has led to his ongoing pain and ill-health, thanking him for the clothes and shoes, and apologising that he can't send any money to William.
