Osawatomie Aug 21 1891, My dear sisters

 We received Mary's card yesterday you are going to make a sudden move if you start This month, or is it September you meant. We will be very glad to see you. We are all well. It has been - in some place too hot weather ever since Mary left on her sad journey East. Our crops are looking very finely. My Eyesight continues to fail. What do think of the Acteena Eye Restorer? Dr Haus says it is the greatest harm? ever perpetrated on humanity   Some claim they have known of cases of cataract cured. I will not try it except under the unclear of unclear some honest doctor I think. surgeon's knife seems a terrible remedy.

[[Transcriber's note: The lines here are uneven, unlike previous letters, bad eyesight makes sense as the reason. Dr. Haus was correct; the Actina device was a total fraud and was one of the things which led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. RMR]]
