Dear Miss Blackwell
   I wrote you about 
Miss Rena Patters death & burial. 
But I have not heard anything 
from you? Poor Miss Patter had 
many Good qualities - and the Greatest 
courage to meet death I ever 
saw.  Rena Patter's expenses or bills 
comes due Oct 3d  & I have not the 
money to meet them.
   Will you kindly send 
me your usual check for $25. to 
meet them? I am most crazy over 
her Bills & the troubles, and I am so 
loansome, & miss her so Dreadful 
as we made our home together 
for 25 years.  I never left her a day 
or night in 25 years - as her sufferings 
were Dreadful.  My health is 
seriously broke down so I am a great 
suffer, and can't live long - as I

am getting old.  I got this far 
in this letter when yours has 
come.  I beg of you MIss Blackwell 
to send me at once Rena 
Pattees check $25. to pay her Sept 
bills?  I put out my Money, work 
& time for 25 years, & am now all 
broke down in Nerves & health, 
& I deserve some help from you 
as all the Church people say.  
I beg of you for God & humanity 
sake do send at once your 
check for only $25.?
   Must send this quick - as Rena 
Pattees Rent must be paid at 
once!  When I can see you I will 
deliver Miss Rena Pattee dying 
message to you & letters.  
Her other friends doing all they can 
But they cannot pay your part 
of her expenses. Can't write

more now - as I am most
crazy over the Bills & troubles
I am in.  My troubles & Bills now
are a million times more then
when she was alive.
   I beg & plead of you don't
fail to send me Rena. Pattees
Check for $25. at once!
   Don't lose all your chance
for Heaven by deserting Rena
Pattee in her Dying time.  I
will prove I cannot pay her
Bills now -which yo[w]u was
paying.
   Great Haste
