Dear Father. I have to

I am sorry to say that I have
written you three letters and
none of them have been
answered I have written in
them espacialy to know
whether you have recieved
the twenty dollars which I
sent you the last pay day
I sent it by the commishoner
and have not herd from
it sinc for the last two
days the comunication has

again and there is some
cloathing money come that

day pleas write and tell
me about the money for
