Dear Papa,
As you wanted me to tell you how I got home I at Ft. W. where I left you.
I got very sleepy before I got W. I nearly went to sleep. A man on the train told me when to get off. I then got on the Bus paid the man 25 cts. and went up to the Carson and Lewis house and got of and the man showed me a little room by my self. I didend [sic] get any supper.
Next morning the man woke me. I had a cold breakfast. I paid the hotel man one dollar and got one the stage. I got both tired and sleepy before I got home. When I got here brother was making a telephone, Mamma was sewing, Sister was peeling watermelon rines [sic] to make preserves and I don’t know what Bessie, Zemmie and Roy were doing. I am still coughing with my cold. Mr. Frank Rawlins preached last night. Well I have told you how I got home so I will close. Write soon. Your son,
Carlie. | |
