This handwritten, 2-page letter is dated 27 October 1901 from Salida, Colorado. It is written by Mamie Taylor, and is addressed to her grandmother, whose name is unknown. There is a mention of a letter written to Aunt Vira, which at one point enclosed this letter, suggesting Mamies grandmother might have been living with or near Vira.
Mamie also talks about a letter she received from Leah, who has recently had a baby, and is keeping busy. She describes the weather in Salida as fair, at least since she has returned home, and how despite her desires to go find work in Oregon, she will stay in Salida for the time being. She urges her grandmother to write her often and closes her letter with the comment that she must make some food for her girls and an excerpt from a poem or hymn regarding trials and eternal rest.
