  Mr. Mitchel Wesley & Family
  
  Dear Friend:
  
  I am writing this to let you know that your Pap died yesterday at 10 P.M.  Will be buried tomorrow at Mangum at 11 a.m.
  I have had him fixed real nice, Will have a picture made of the casket tomorrow if I can.  It is raning hard here this after-noon.
  Allie thought you wouldn?t come it was so far so I didn?t send any telegram.
  How are you all?
  I am not very well, haven?t been all summer, but I keep going most of the time.
  Write soon
  Affectionately,
  
  Maggie Wesley
