Leavenworth, Kansas, June 11, 1901 –
Dear Anna E. Dann –
Here is a postal order –
Mr Postman will show you how to sign it –
or if you take it to Mrs. Sweet – she will show
you how to do it – or she will pay you the
money on it $9.60 – then you pay Margaret
& yourself as far as it goes – and tell me –
really you are entitled to two weeks pay –
but make out her bill & send me hers –
Sister Mary has not come yet – from
Duluth – its hotter than blazes here – 94⁰ in
the shade yesterday – so keep cool, I say,
and do all of you sewing & patching
up – the next letter will tell when
we are coming home – I think.
Maude is bright & hopping around
like a cricket – love to you & Margaret –
and Genevieve – when she calls – – S.B.A
