My Dear Sister Rachel

Th[blocked out]
intending to write you a l[blocked out]
let you know that I heard
lately from Timothy & James.
I have only time to say a word.
About 15th of Sept. they left
Ft. Learned for Denver. James
had been a little unwell but
had got better. Timothy was well.
They will probably write you soon
from Denver if they have not
done so.

We are in usual health.

Love to all

In Haste

yours
