Writing from Watertown, George tells Ruth that his mother is doing better. Everyday details of care and railway travel give way to an intimate hope: that the life they are about to share will make her happy.
I have missed you darling and thought of you many times every day.

WATERTOWN, S. DAK., July 23rd, 1907
My Dear Ruth:-
I didn't miss my train Monday morning and I arrived here at 2:30 P.M. and found mother much better in many ways than I had expected.
She is still able to help herself a great deal and can walk some by the aid of a crutch. Her limb pains her some at times but not all of the time. Have been with her most of the time and have been looking after her business for her.
You know how sick persons are, want one thing one moment and another the next.
My cousin is here with her
