Dec. Sen 10 Sunday Evening / Dec.5th 1897 ca wrote this A .. but have ken a notion to scribble again . duly nesanded in St Press ) sp ? My Precious , darling Sister : Father has been here but no latter . I feel sure though that your delay is caused by work of far greater importance , and that in that , you are justified . Oh ! how glad I am to know you are succeeding so well . Though I have just gotten over an extremely severe fit of the blues , I felt immediately constrained to scribble again today to you . As it became dark I began walking up and down , thinking thinking , thinking of the blighted , perhaps ruined life that lies before you , and thinking of our most noble & precious Mother & Father of the terrible weight of sorrow heeped unjustly upon the ageing shoulders of those blessed beings , & again I began thinkir & of the article in the " Post " , when a combination of most exouisite joy over your success & station in Europe & most heart rending agony of grief if you can imagine such a combination ) to think it might chance these awful & cruel accusations would in some way hinder your progress I suddenly gave way completely - knelt by my cot prayed & rayed asid sobbing and a most broken heart that it would never be your lot to look uron this vile city or be hindered by my sorrow & trouble in life . O sister sister though all might be well yet and I may be cleared clean and freed to fly with dear mamma & Papa to your welcoming arms - it also seems the guilty have no heart no feeling , as is proven by their silence and in allowing me to suffer so long and poignantly . If by any chance I am made as to suffer it will prove the wretched guilty will never own up even if cornered . O'tis not nice or agreeable to think of ; but to know one has a most beautiful view & chance of the most glorious beyond what availeth us to live . Taat I never loved my sister 1/1000000000000000000000000 enough is now shown me clearly . One never understands these sacred ties until some are ruptured in some way . Do we ? But the glorious vistas of the future is so pleasing I almost wish some spirit could snatch me & put me down beside you to live it out one happy family Mother Father Sister Brother , in a foreign quiet land where there is more freedom & justice than is given in this boasted land of the free & brave ( cowards I'd say ) Promise one thing to me my Sweetheart sister Never condescer d to notice the factors of " Yellow Journalism " such as the N.Y. World - Journal or S.F. Examiner . They are the Hell sheets of crime & lust . The'r Editors are villians scoundrels demons of the blackest type . " Oh ! God , why allowest Thou such awful shanes to live ? !! when I read this article in the " Post of S.F. I leaped for y " .
