(page 2)

Madam or your Boss, Annie have almost worried me out of my life say Harriet please do not send the money to Annie If you do we will never see It she Is grabbing every cent she can, you ought to of known that those people cannot handle other people money you may send the money to Mrs Harris but not to Annie under no Circumstances I do think a little hard of you for not telling us about this money that Annie had taken before now, as I heard that you was aware of the fact, so I will have this money sent back to you just as It Is collected In the Fold, If I only had some personal money It would be as cheap as a match,
