Transcription:

Written on back of what appears to be the last page of a letter from sister Henrietta Shine.  Undated - prior to 1896, year of Queenie's death.

Dear Brother

Etta and Queenie left Teusday eavening and I am all alone except the children Mr Pilley is engaged in a political campaign.  I've been right sick for a week but no chance to rest.  I am all the dependence at home, have every responsibility to shoulder alone.  Mr P is not making a thing except his actual expenses.  His office buisiness is neglected.  I don't know we are me and the children are to live on politics I don't love them.  Hope you are all well by this time and doing well.  Write ma often.  She is so uneasy about you.  Write to us soon & often Love to all M A Pilley
