For a time after you left
Kansas City I was very busy doing Carpenter's work, and was too tired to
write at night and now I am laid up for repairs again,
rheumatic affection of the side. Am somewhat improved today however.
Well, our reunion has come and gone, nearly fifty
responded. John Noland was on hand, wore the badge, seemed to be as proud
of it as any of the men
.
John told me that the reason he failed to show up
at 33rd & Troost, was, that just as he got through supper, he was called
to drive people he works for. I will try to
see him soon and get his story. I will enclose with the story of my horse
"Scroggins." I did not put in my M. S. because it was not exactly germain
to the subject.
I do hope that you will find something
for me to do that will be easier than carpentering, besides I am
tired of K. C. Rents have gotten to be appalling, and living
in proportion, then I am tired of "Catholic" Rule.
Let me hear from you soon.
