Dear Miss Hesse, Don’t know yr address—so will risk this letter in the care of Providence—a thing which I don’t do when I can get hold of a conveyance I am better acquainted with.
Enclosed please find Livy’s & mother’s annual $10 for S. S. Livy is [confined] to her room & part of the time to her bed; so she commissions me to write this letter; & I do it with pleasure, seeing it is you, tho’ I’m blamed if I’ve got time to spread out much.
Yrs
S. L. C.
