Colonia Juarez,
June 21, 1893.

Miss Anna R. Pratt:

Dear Anna; –

I have no doubt but what you will be surprised at receiving a letter from me.

I have felt ashamed of myself, for my rude conduct Sunday afternoon, ever since you left in such a hurry.

I will come down Sunday the 24, and make that feeble effort to attone for my rudeness.

[page break]

The reason I write to tell you about it is because I cannot start until after S. S., and you would in all probability be in meeting.

I suppose you will not mind or apostatize if you miss one meeting.

I hope you will pardon this hastily written letter as bro. Bently is ready to go.

From
Gaskell.
