[Undated and No Location, small
fragment, P.S. with closing, may be early letter – ŌThey say I am 700
miles from home it is a beautiful country down hereĶ, back says couldnÕt send
cannon cap because stolen]
Ō(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
iÕve [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 iÕll [sic] see if I cant get another one for you and send
it some time [upside down at bottom] P.S. Ask Mally
