The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Co. 1898 1899 Dawkins Dear Cousin John, I received your letter sometime ago which I was very glad to get. You said that you wrote to Theodore and he did not answer. I don't think you addressed it right because he does not work at Z Tanks any more. He is employed in the Rio Grande yard as a fire man on a switch engine. His wages a day are $2.50. He likes his job pretty well. Many thanks for your Christmas gifts. We send you the same. You asked me if I think or dream of Pikes Peak. You bet I do, I will never forget that either. So I close for time. Hope you will write soon. Best regards from all of us, John PS don't forget to write and excuse the bad writing. J.F. |
