D s ar Hr. Ayres:-
Relieve Dr. Johnston^md Mr. Colp havs told you everything of any importance so won't try to enumerate the happenings of the office.
Mach to my regret Mr. Colp insisted on having his check for $175. Goodness knows I surely do hate to pay out any money, especially amounts like that. If Mr. Baird would only get out and hustle maybe money wouldn't be.so scarce, because I really see no reason whatever why public-spirited people wo-ldn't cooperate, if we would only go after them. (Please pardon the rambling sentence)
An; paying the telephone and the '»7estern Union bills today, .ith the exception of that am trying to advance as little money as possible. (That check to Mr. Colp didn't look like it,did it# wishing you the best of success, I am.
?. 3. My initals are 17. A. not A.iff. - 17i3 helmina Alberta Huey -isn't that AWFUL.'!! I usually keep the first name in the dark if I can.
P.3. 2. Henrietta, the laundress, must not be very anxious for her money, as she has never called for it. Told Mrs. Holmes to send her around but she hasn't come.
Sincerely
