Miss Fletcher
  My dear friend

       I received your letter and did not answer it, because I lost one of my little boys. I think of you every day but I could not write to you. We heard the letter you sent to us, but the Omahas did not believe you sent the letter, they said we made it up ourselves, I think you sent the letter and we did not make it ourselves I came to the Mission this afternoon and I write this letter to you If I could write I would have written to you soon, but I do not know how. All the people that come here think of you always . And we want to hear from you when you get this letter. This is all I will say today
