Laundry, 412 Main Street, Aberdeen, South Dakota. "My Dear Sister I recived your welcome letter I was glad to hear from you. also to recve the check you could not have any idea what it is unless you had been situated as I have been the money is a god send to me and the prospects are that it will double its vallue to me or you in the comming year. prospects were never so good for the past 10 years since 1882 there has not been so much Rain 7 seven and a half inches of Rain sinc the first of April we had up to that time more snow and Rain than for years before people were in exelant spirrits before the last bountiful rain it has been a time of much thankfullness it been almost impossible for any drayage on the streets Many of the Busses with 4 horses and could not Get to some Parts of the City with them Rain Coats Umberllas have been in use this spring for a tme it looked like the Old Country such a fine steady rain such as I never saw in this Part of the Country this is the 19 of April the mud is most gon people are seeding where they can the whole comunity seems to a new energy with gratitude building is comenced in several place thay say there is to be a New brick Opera House on the Oppostt side corner of the street from this lot is in the middle (2) of the Block it is to cost 24 Twenty four thousand dollars also aother (sic) Brick building in this Neighbrood this will bring property up the property is more than double its value since last fall houses that have been vacant since you were here are all Rented this spring. I feel sure all that have staid will make up what has been lost or sunk for my part my prospects were never so good I have the prospect of some good busness with some one to look after it - the money I might better say Mr. SIS a good one to get in the money and think it is good paying if the momey is well taken care of he dos the marking and bookkeeping and tends to the flowers in the Laundry for sale - we had cut flowers and pla.(?) for sale for Easter and a Paity(?) last night and sold oure 40 forty dollars worth so you can see there are some people here that have money we could have sold twice that a mont if we had them, you will see by the paper I have a man to run the Laundry I got so tired of the help in the L. that I thought it would be best to get a good man to manage it for me I moved last fall to near the greenhouse and had such a time I thought I should never get things in order again when I did I thought I would get some one that would have the responsibility(?) of getting the work out it was to much for me I got so tired of it I am called of so many times thenn I had to leave the girls to get the work out and many times tha would come and stay off just as they felt help has been very hard to get of any kind this man is a good worker and the girls do much better for him than for me but thay dont like him I think I shall go into it as soon as the busness built up a ain when I moved last fall thay cracacked the boiler on the big Engin the small one would not do the work so I was closed down 4 weeks this was a big expince and worry - there is not a nother laundry for 250 to 300 miles each way so when I could start up again most of the work came back I think I shall have a big busness this fall it is very much better the past four weeks it is not convenient to get the work done af the main street and I shall get (3) back a gain as soon as I can Now a bout the monny you have sent I recived two checks one on April 5th the second on April 13th I cashed it at the Aberdeen National Bank where I cashed the first one I deposited 900 nine hundred af it in the s same Bank as Mr A. L. WARD the Man Mr JENKINS borrowed 900 dollars from to pay my debts when I was sick there was 2 years taxes to be taken out of it this was taken out of the 900 Mr JENKINS paid them I hink (sic) thay ...(?) 1.50 ddollars ( (sic) this did not pay only a bout half most af the others I paid out of the check on April 5th first check the second I wanted to pay A. L. WARD the 900 and give him a note for the intrest for 60 days but he wanted me to have it endorsed on the mortage but I told him I could pay in in (sic) a short time and I wanted to give you a mortage on this lot and would git the money from some one in town so I left in in (sic) the Bank yesterday thay told me at the Bank that this check was a duuplicate of the first one so thay have written or telegraphed to the Bank to see a bout it I told the mayor MOODY he is the President of the Bank that you had sint it to me and I thought it was a second and not a duplicate of the first a asked D Dr McNUTT what he would do in this case as I did not wait to leave the check at the Bank. Now is you will write me as soon as you can and tel me if you have sent twice Mr WARD does not seem very anxious to take the money but I shall try to clear it from it if I had it was A L WARD I would than not hav taken it of him as he wanted me to trade this lot to him for some of his property 5 years a go so he is not very anxious to have me redeam it I will give you a clear Mortage on it and evry thing that I have this will take thirty five 35.00 hundred in all that is bsides the 3 thousand five hundred I have had I will pay the interest on this evry three months and if I should fail to paay you can fore Close and it is just as good to you as a deed for a un(?) paid Mortage is the safest and best for the Law is here in favour of the partys that loan the money then if you have a Mortage you know no one can put a lean on it as thahhay have done if I had given you a Mortage for the first Money you paid on it or let me have I should not have had anything a gainst it as people in this part when thay lend money at twelve and a half intrest thay know it is almost sure not to be redeemed and if you hold a mortage there Canot be any lean or Money borrowed on it then it could not be sold without it was reddemed from you this I belive will not be the case. I belive if you Can and will secure secure (sic) for youre Own(?) interest and prinsable by taking a Mortage for 2 or three years as you say, and at the end as I said if I fail to pay the intrest or prinsable at the end of three years it is yours as 2 years then you fore close and one yeare after date the sae sale is made, but if I do not know what may be in the future but I think I have seen the hardest part of my(?) days it will not be as long a struggle as it as been for I dont have the strength or ambiton that I had years a go, as I said beforforore I belive it will be very easy for me to pay the intrest evry three months I am sorry I am in such a state of debts and have had so much from you without paying intrest but I feel sure that by holding this property it is an independence fofor M Me and youre money is well invested there is going to be a great deal of Eastern Capitol brought in here this summer, I have not hard from Chicago for some time the Note was malised(?) from you but not any thing from any of them I know thay feel terable espicily MARY she does seem to have More than her share of sorrow I think of all those that are a Care to her and none now to be a part of the burden she has to bear she took real comfort with Mr. BAYLES he was such a good man I hope that Mother will be good to her I think Brother JOHN and MARY can get along better with Each other than with any of us thay seem to think a great deal of each other and thay are so much a like in ways (4) (5) thay had many a long chat the time she took care of me last Winter I am glad thay live near each other She will see to Brother then he will be kind to her She was so good to me I belive I should never have got up a gain as(?) for her I thinhink it is unkind of me not writing to her oftener but the time goes and I am a miserable one to write If Mr FLETCHER stays and RICHARD ....(?) in the ofice that will give me lots of time it seems strange to me to(?) have some one to Care for mme a and to take an intrest in things without pay I do not pay him any more he has his 4 ....es(?) out of the busness i shall be glad to get my busness in shape so that I can do as I want to he went to Minneapolis to make arrangements for plantnts annd flowers for the season brought many things in the way of gardning and Greenhouse Tools also a picture of his greenhouses he did not have the money from Home to pay the mortage that was on them for 12 hundred so they were sold on the 4 of Apriil when his Partner left it he borrowed from the bulding and Loan Asococion his partner had money enough to finish and run it but the Cars, the Cable Cars did not go out there as was expected so he went west and lost more than would have finished and run the busness RICHARD kept it 2 two years after he left then he had to give it up , he has the use and(?)

My love to your friends My dear Sister. I have been thinking of writing to you to tell you how busy & happy we are now that sickness & death are far from us in the past PAULIE did splendidly with his operation & is fast becoming a strong & happy boy. when we got nicely over it DORRIE took sick with measels & then the other three took them also GEORGE one of our big boys & one servant so we had a lively time between Easter & whitsun tide. DAVID arrived just in the thick of it. After 'May' holiday my cook who was a treasure took sick & as she had been awfully good to me when MAMIE was in the hospitta having her training & I just gave her every care. MAMIE went off to Malvern to see Mr BUTTERS father & step mother & thought the girl would soon be all right - but alass as soon as MAMIE had gone she became unconscious & died in six days of consumption of the brain. We buried her gave her a nice coffin & Mr RIGGALL & I followed her to her grave. Her parents weere very poor but very respectable & I was awfully sorry for them for they did not see her until she was unconscious & they felt very bad as you can imagin. I did every thing I could for her & she seemed to be very happy in her soul she belonged to the Church of England & we sent for the clergeman to bury her. Do you know BETSY she suffered & died just as Brother WILLIE did it all came back to me so clearly after all these years. Now dear for the bright side of the pecture. we are all well I am strong & bonny rosey & grey. I think STANLEY & MAMIE have been so anxious to have me get strong for MAMIE would not have got married yet if I had not been better that they have just prayed me back to strength again. The Dr don't understand but I do. we shall have the wedding about the time you get this. There will be four bridesmaid EDITH RHODES Mr COCKERs cousen SISSEY MANTLE MAMIEs cousin & DORRIE & VALETTA DAVID will give her awaw & my husband & his father will Marry them, we shall have refreshments in the garden & nearly one hundred guests. She has had such a changeful life I thought she should have a pretty wedding, her dress is Cream Sattin long & plain with yoke & sleves of tucked cream crepe. The neck & sleves are nearrly transparent She will have a courenett of orange blossom & a large brussells net vail which she will wear corner wise & it will reach to the end of the train & a large boquet of cream flours. The bridesmaids dresser are as enclosed they have large black hats with pink & damask roses & one large fether the little girls have soft green silk to their ..oles with hats of the same colour only lighter shade trimed with daises & they will carry bunches of daises the bridesmaids light pink & dark damask roses. My dress is the purple shade made long with pretty triming & my bonnet is the same shade with three feathers of the same colour tiped with cream. Now dear this is a long tale, but I thought you would like to know all about it we shall have photos taken & I will send you one as soon as I can. Mr & Mrs CHARLES CLEGG are coming for the day. DAVID is splendidly well. he would like very much to see you all but he will not be able this time My husband is now at our conference which meets at Burselem in Staffordshire. he is going to try to find aunt AGUSTA he wont mind threr been rather poor he is so friendly & homley, & yet he looks such a a refined & delicate man. I am proud of him, but often fear he will slip away suddenly, his heart is so weak. I trust God & am thankful for present blessings" | EDGOOSE, Harriet (I4313)
