The coal I have bought will last me most of next Spring. I have bought some things I could have done with out. I think you are right about my spending money for things I could do with out simply because I had the money. I will assure you I will buy nothing else unless absolutely necessary. I hope you will send me some money soon, so will close.

Your nephew
