Dear Bob, — I am sorry to tell jou I am going up north. on a station to live with Tom. I promised to go the time you went to town and kicked up such a sprea. They sent for Job then, but he was taken and the man did not sute. They have sent for Tom as a boundary rider. Cannot braik my promise to him. I will take off two children. Hope you will take care of yourself, and not go drinking as you always have done. Pay your clubs, arid if anything happens you will have something to fall back on. If you never want it, it will do some day to your son. You have your own self to blame for this. Ypu have treated me bad for the last three or four years, and I have been ■waiting ray chance since then. Hoping you will take these few words as they are given you, and do well for yoursolt. Don't tell I am gone, only father and mother. No one knows anything about • it. If you don't tell, no one will. Get a tent and get the things down m it and then you will be right. With best respects, I remain, Annie." His Honor said that he should report the allegations of impropriety proved.
