Did you say that the letter with that check Knapp sent back you did not get? I carried it down to the office the Thursday afternoon + said to Evelyn that ought to reach Washington by Saturday + she nodded + said I think so.  it was a three dollar check with their letter enclosed, telling not to send it again for the bank was closed.  I gave Campbell the money + he sent them his personal check its funny where it went.  I did not write again untill Sunday it was carefully put down here in our Post office the Thursday just before you were to reach home that I know.  I am sorry its the first one to be lost + you may get it now but I directed it plain enough.
  well no use to worry over the darn thing. Ma

ps
the letter Dousid wrote was plain to read about her having an Easter egg + illustration she is doing fine the bone with beetles on it.  I could read it + she did a good job.  I should say. Grandma
