Dear Sister
   I sent you two units clothes by mail. I sent the long pants
for Anthony.  I though they would be best for him but if you still
want knee pants let me know & I will still send them.  Let him keep
this but I sent size 12 instead of 11 which I think will be full
small for him.  Let me Know when the Exhibition comes off.  I may
come out as I want to come out this summer some time.  also let me
know which station to get off at on the new Rail Road as I want to
come that way.  Tell Bettie I dont know whether I answered her
letter or not.  if not that I will write to her some time also.
tell Oscar that I will write to him.  My health has been good all
this spring since I got over the La Grippe.  I have bought out Both
of my partners here & at Albion.  I am all alone now and in a shape
to make some money.  I would like to have $400.00 or $500.00 until
fall.  If you have got it and can spare it untill then.  I will
pay it back then without fail.  also remember all that I make will
go to you and the children when I die so if you can spare that amt.
Dont be uneasy for you will get it back.   Yours T.  Write soon
                               A.H. Splawn
