[Incomplete letter..begins in mid-sentence...Written in ink rather than pencil...]
if Frank will let me look at it.
When you write tell me something that Jo does you hardly ever say
any thing about him just any thing so I can try and form some
idea how he acts and looks. What is Lester Reiff and Charley
doing? So uncle John talks of coming back to Mo? well he had
better not come till I get home. What is Bart doing. guess Forest
is off for school by this time. tell Susie I would get me a squaw
but they cannot cook any thing but fish and Moose but if she
wants a little buck indian I will try and bring her one. would
you like for me to bring you a big buck if so I will bring a
whole family with a nice young Kluche (an indian girl) that is if
can get the grease off of them. So Ed Bush is still living? would
have thought that Blanche would have consumed him by this time,
he holds his own better than I thought however, well how are you
standing the racket or probibly you once in a while lay down to
it? Well it doesent bother me one bit in this country. Have just
returned from an evening with some Missouri boys from Pleasant
hill one is a great bird hunter and knows several St Louis people
that I do. well we just had a great time telling of our hunts. he
is going to give me a fine puppy when he goes home and wants me
to take part in their ten day hunt. well dear if I will only be
able to do so. I know it would be great to take a hunt of that
kind and with such a fellow after being in this country so long.
dont you think so?? They take a hunt at Sedalia some times and
some times at Pleasant Hill. A Mr Krenning of Krenning Glass and
Queenswon Co hunts with him. (John Irving) probibly Dr. Crockett
will know Krenning. I think Albert is his name. my pen is so
sharp on point I can hardly write. I missed Curtis and James on
sending these letters out so cant say when they will get out.
only hope when I write again will have several letters to answer.
Oh! yes i got two letters out of the office for Lee today July
23rd and Aug 6th were the postmarks on same but none for me since
June 28th. Frank also received one from his father. dont remember
the date (is was Aug 1st) Lee is up the creek and we are in
Dawson trying to get a couple of claims recorded only hope there
will be something in them when we get them.
With love to all, especially to my Girl and Boy. Your devoted boy
