Dear Father

Staid at Cairo

night I will go to Springfield
Next week I will go to
Galena a (take 3 or 4 days) &
then I will go across to
Chicago & go down the branch
to Urbanna And go home
when I get back - We had
better not make that
visit to Jonesboro & Cairo

=ly hot that we could see nothing
with comfort.
