My Dear Niece Your Xmas card was duly received, and was appreciated by me. I answered your letter with a long one but you never wrote me any more. I had a letter from Stormer last week, he said they were having lots of winter but not much rain. We raly need rain been dry all summer & fall. (Page 2) We are having lots of cold weather has been on for six weeks it was bitter cold yesterday not so cold to day. Denison is looking better. A big Overall factory will open up about Feby 15th that will work 300 people that will help some that will mean a pay wrole of $30,000 per month & will get bigger as they grow. We have 2000 railroad men working here already. About 500 working at the cotton mill. So you see we havent such a bad town after all. The R. R. Strike hirt us bad 1400 went out 2 1/2 years a goe (Page 3) but we are getting over that now. I hope you made a good crop last year. I would love to goe back there to see every body but I have somuch stuff here its hard for me to get off. Cant sell a big propersition so easy but am trying all the time. Never can tell. Might sell tomorrow if could sell Hotel could Manage the bol of my stuff. Can sell but getting a man with 70,000.00 in cash that (Page 4) that wants a Hotel is hard to do. Stormer says the children are getting Maggies Est in a mix up & the Lawyer will get the most of it. I dont know but little about it but have heard that Mr. Lane had acted real ugly over some things. Blannie I am putting over a big propersition and I need $1,000 more than I have and I want to get that much from you at once. You can make the note for 4- 6- or 8 months any time after four month I can return your money with intrest. Now you make out the note send it to me (Page 5) will sign & return at once. I can get the money here but Ill tell you just how it is. I stand first clas here and dont want thease people to know I havent enough money to put the propersition over is why I am asking you to let me have the $1,000.00 let me hear from you at once along this line. My health has ben good thank the lord but there has ben lots of sickness & deaths in town. (Page 6) I hope William got his hous finished before the bad weather set in if nothing happins want to goe back this Summer with you after you come out & send about two months with me. I will goe back with you for a mo. How is William & familys, guess your mother is feable. Tell me all the news when you write. I will write Stormer soon. Best wishes to you & every body.
