Dear Brother John
I am sorry to try your patience so much
by not consenting to visit you sooner but
I was so tired of travelling that I thought it
nearly a death note to be told to start again
and it was my intention to visit you before
we would return home but since I learn that
you would not be reconciled to seeing us
sometime before going back we must go at
once hoping to find you all in good health.
I remain your
Good Sister Annie
To Mr. J Armstrong
