Baltimore Dec 25. 1848,
Dear Isaac
I address you a few lines to inform you, that I have removed to this place. I have often thought of writing to you, but have put it of from time to time__don't think I have forgotten you your kindness is always fresh in my memory. I should like very much to see you. please come if you can only stay but a short time. I live at the corner of Howard and Dover Street Number 64. I have a very good House Cousin David helps me to pay my Rent. I had to spend every cent I had, to pay the Freight on my things if you could aid me a little at present you would confer a on me, which could never be forgotten. I have not been able to procure my winter wood and coal as yet. I have a few customers who buy my Bitters and seem much pleased with them which brings me in a little. I am obliged to be very Economical. I have no Servant. I do all my own work and attend to my Bitters also. Times were Remarkably dull in Richmond when I left_they are trying to do away the sale of Ardent spirits altogether Temperance Meetings are held nearly every Night in the Week. That has me injured considerably in the sale of my Bitters but I Trust in God Times may be better here. I saw Cousin David a few Days ago he was complaining of Rhumatism. When I see you I shall have a great deal to tell you, you know Isaac I can tell you any thing whenever you intend to come let me know a few Days before. I have to be out a good deal

I should like to be at home when you do come. Farewell Dear Isaac may every Blessing that this life affords be be yours is the sincere wish of your Friend
Reinah
please write to me in a Day or Two
