June 14, 84 (1884)

     How do Mitch. How goes it now old boy.  I am tolerable.  Are you 
tolerable all. Well, at present nothing strange was taking place lately as I 
have heard of.

     I was at Duluth the other day and found the old place (probably 
Strickland Place) just as always.  The boys was all assing around and nothing 
to do.

     Am find something to do now day you bet.  And I don't stand back from 
nothing.  I just lay holt and move.

     Well Mitch I did not get to see you when you was in the last time.  I 
would like to see you so I could have learned you the mogul motions.  I guess 
you haven't forgotten how it is though.
 
     I want you to write to me Mitchell and tell me what you are doing now and 
how ___ as ___ I never get tired of reading letters and I want to hear from 
you.  Espicily (Especially).

     Mitch I have got all those songs. The ones you and I bought World Mfg. 
Co. of New York.  Shall send you half of them by male (mail) or will you be 
back this year.  Somethime (sometime) I will do either.

     Just say which.  Send them to you or keep them till I see you.

     Don't fail to write me for I am yours.

     Will W. Craft (William Washington Craft)

(The envelope received June 16, 1884 Birmingham, Ala.)

Note: I have the receipt of the World Mfg Co. of New York, but failed to scan 
it.)
