I feel very well satisfied. Pueblo is not a bad place at all I think <infact> tis quite nice very clean but so cold and the wind <hows> all <the> <time> it <> to me. One thing you will <notice> about the <western> place they <> the <cash> all <hollow> for grand thing to eat
I received your dear letter at <Kinsley> and will write there to tell them to <forward> any more here. Dear lover if you could <see> the way I have <> around to <save> a dollar here and there on his journey
you would say maybe I was a good manager too beyond its having been a great pleasure to have had you write me. I have <succeeded> <> by myself. Kept my eyes open all the time and I needed <> I <> the <> down this <morning> $5 a month for <new> <rooms> here <> <> <> and <> new furniture in the <> of <the> <> <> <> <> <> and for me <3148> <making> $68 dollars a <month> <me> working will not do much and <>darling I will not spend a penny that I do not have to.

Dear old sweetheart goodbye.
Thy loving “<Ma_t_o>”
