I Received a bad news last evening from Elgin, which I will eclose. the last one we takin I guess it is old Ikes sister. I will write Elgin. if its a mistake we will make it right with the old. and that I did not Intended to take his sisters grave, but Intended to take my uncles grave which I have a right to, and will also write Elgin. If its mistake mr Hartman the money or the bones back and we do not want harm anyone if possible. you or mr Hartman write Elgin also. and have him to tell the old man. the man he spoken of in his letter, Pet Beggin, is Indian.
