Dear James Jany. 4th
1894
Your Mother was
going to write to you but
she had not time with those
young fellows running here
and there. I drew the

is much obledged [obliged?] to you
I gave it to hir [her?] when I came
up. She has Done nothing
with it as yet I see there
is some outlay There as
well as at home. I need not
tell you to take good care
of your helth [health?] and money
for you know something
about it now. William
is up today and is going
to James tonight.

our sheep dead so that
