(-4-) upper left corner of page torn off

torn off clusion I will tell you who I am torn off will not wonder at bad grammer etc. [[torn off] perhaps will be surprised when I tell you that I am one of those coal miners for whom you battled in pensylvania some years ago. I spent 26 years in the coal mines, and cleared enough money to buy a ticket to California. Quit the mines three years ago, am now a steam Engineer The men who were engaged in that battle are now scattered all over the Globe, and you are not forgotten by them, so you see your friends are not all under one flag.

 Hoping that you will cheer up, and see that the world yet has much in store for you, I beg to remain

Your Earnest and sincere friend, J. Hanrahan
