Dear Brother
I am writing you a few lines
to let you know I am still alive
[illegible] in hard luck. I have been
sick for a long time I had six
operations and have not been able
to do everything for a year but
am getting better now. It cost me
$150 for each time they cut me
open to gether with hospital bills
it took all the spare cash I had
I don't know what I am going to
do I cant get any more money before
next summer so I thought if you
could send me a hundred dollars
till next summer I will pay
you good interest - it will sure
help me over a hard place

Times are very hard here wheat
is only worth 38 [cents] per bushel to the
farmers and 50 [cents] [illegible]
there has been quite a lot of rain
this fall but I think the weather
is settled now bright but cool I
am all alone in this world
and in a tight box just now if
you can help me out I wish you
would I hate to ask any body for
help but I would rather ask you
than strangers if you think you
can, let me know right away for I
need it badly.
Hoping to hear from you
Right away
[I remain]
