I know it, and come to see you. write and
let me know if you are sick or I will try
to find out. When I get too uneasy I will
complain. I am well and will leave town
to-morrow but will have an opportunity to the
office on saturday & monday. by then I hope
to hear from you. My good __ are lying idle
only breathing out what they intend doing
mean while telling that you and myself have
defrauded her out of thousands. Mary wrote to

I knew old Bill was fixing up for the lions
share. perhaps they are steaming up for the time
that I reach the country, then scare me so bad

They needn’t beat their gongs around me
Kiss Xander & Jonnie for me
Ever your truly attached
Sister E.B.B.
