Monday Morning, Jan 3rd 1887 Dear Mother, - I wrote to you a few days ago; but will write again as I said I would. I washed last week; but the clothes didn't get dry in time; so I could iron them Saturday; so I will iron today. I have just sprinkled them. - and will write a few lines while I am waiting. Well! I went to see how much your taxes will be, - just $1.00 on that vacant lot, and $4.00 on the Stobb place. - as luck will have it, - the City hasn't your side walk down; so you may never have to pay for it. The

My Tax will be there in Minn. & if you can; will you let me have money to pay it? with. I think it? will be about $8.00. I must close as I have got to write to Mr. Schroeder & Geo & Uncle Dan. Good bye. - write soon as you get this. & send me they money to pay up with.
