  Dear Sister Carrie, 
     Your letter of 16 is just at hand.  I learned by Sarah's letter that you was 
  sick and was thinking of writing to see how you was.  I am glad you are able to 
  write.  I think you will come out all right.  There is a large amount of 
  vitality in the Holmes stock.  I was at Honesdale last week looking after a 
  steam job.  I thought of coming over to see you while I was in Scranton but it 
  takes so much time to get from Scranton to Honesdale I could not do so.  I saw 
  Square Brush in Wilksbarre week before last.  He told me of James Decker's 
  death, also that they found no bill against Joney Hand.  Parties in Scranton 
  who should know told me Johny is not as bad as they try to make out he is. Tenn 
  and the children start for Pittston Wensday.  They will come to see you if 
  there is any way to get there.  It is so hard to get any place after you leave 
  the R.R.  She thinks she will stay with her mother untill Monday.  We got the 
  Sunbury contract and have one or two other small jobs.  Rollins is in N.Y. 
  now.  Remember me to Dewey.  Your Bro, W.O. Holmes
