Maggie Weeks to William F. Weeks, Undated [1863]
Maggie writes of the business activities of her husband, Charles C. Weeks, in Texas, and other local news in Mansfield. “Charlie is almost making himself sick, he is so desirous to get into business & be making money,” she writes. “According to his account, he is so poor, he can hardly afford to eat a piece of bread & meat. Please help him, and for my sake, let him into some of your secrets of getting rich. Brother Alfred wrote Charlie that he had become nothing but a hewer of wood & drawer of water, and I fear Charlie will be in the same sad condition.”
