Description

Partial letter from William to Tarsilla Schuster. Message reads, "Don't you go to work your time is more naturally to your children and your health is more than the few dollars you get for slavery hours give it up and do as I say. How about Schenectady did you write? I looked up in the books. Schenectady is still paying for me here. Miss Schubal (?) says (?) hasn't said a word since last July. So far I am well but my heart is pretty damn sore. If you did as I asked I would be different towards you. Did I tell you Otto sent 10.00 for Xmas. I have it in the bank here about 40.00. That property was sold for $135.00 and 275 amount of mortgage total cost $410.00. Farrington fought it. Bankcroff left here. Mrs. Powers patient in McD (?) got her job. Hope you will be ok very soon. I wish I were with you to love you just a little now work every day and especially see after children. Your lung condition get examined also Nellie and give (?) John and do as I request about other things. Love Will. Don't let no one kiss the children not even your self." Included envelope is addressed to "Mrs. W.J. Schuster 103 Ditmas Ave Brooklyn N.Y. c/o Mrs. M.A. Fletcher" and postmarked in Ray Brook, January 14, 1916.
