[Undated and No Location, small fragment, P.S. with closing, may be early letter – “They say I am 700 miles from home it is a beautiful country down here”, back says couldn’t send cannon cap because stolen]

“(P.S.) Tell Malvina she must read your letters because it seems as if I must write every letter to you ask her what she ment [sic] by that box in the Post Office and if I can send my letters there just as well it will save you something after a while because I suppose the penny Post fetches them to you

They say I am seven Hundred miles away from home it is a beautiful country down here you can see every thing most except a woman I have seen onley [sic] 2 since we i’ve [sic] been here from yours

[p.2, centered on back] I sealed up that big letter without that Cannon Cap because some one stole it from me and I had to let it go but i’ll [sic] see if I cant get another one for you and send it some time [upside down at bottom] P.S. Ask Mally
