Rev. M E Strieby
Sir
I have just received your letter dated the 20th this morning at 10 o'clock and went immediately to the Post Office and found there your letter dated the 14th. It was the neglect of the Post Man which I sadly regret had I only received it I should of been there ere this. I will come as soon as possible. Please let me know the longest time you can wait.
Respectfully,
M E Watson
P.S. I telegraphed this afternoon[.] I trust you received.
