Transcript

[1] [handwritten] My Dear Miss Trigg By the time I was free to call you last night; I felt it too late to disturb you- I wanted to tell you that I had a most interesting talk with Mr. Mills, [2] and I surely think he is most thankful, that the [illegible] reward [illegible] the cottage, but I don’t think as yet he has come to think that his letters should have been in the book. Mr. Jones has one of the books, so I was quite free to tell him, how splendid it is – He had no word but praise for Mrs. Russell [3] I want again to thank you for the most charming hour I spent with you and the dear mother- I surely hope some time to meet you again- Sincerely [signed] Susan E. MacGilleray 1106 – 1st Ave Spokane
