"Apr. 23, 1897
Dear Bro,
I meant to have seen you yesterday about bringing the colt down. If you are not going to use him and can get him down here without too much trouble I would like to have him to come up with Sunday.
It has been a long time since I have been to Hope and would like to come, but if it puts you to any inconvenience I will wait till later or get something else for a team.
Hastily,
Jos"Collection
