Dear Lupe

                                    Last week I was not in Uvalde. I came to town after night on Saturday evening and did not receive your card untill Sunday morning. I then went to M^rs P's expecting to see you but only to learn you had left the night before I am truly sorry I missed seeing you and I do assure you that it would have afforded me a great pleasure to have served you in any manner that would have contributed to your pleasure or benefit While in Uvalde I learn that you had but poor encouragement in getting a music class here. We have here so many music teachers that I could not hope for your success unless / from experience the people here learned to appreciate your worth as an educator

 

            I hope you may find a situation that will be profitable and pleasant and at some time you I do hope I may be able to serve you. Give my love to your Aunt I often think of the times I have spent with her and your Mother

 

            With my best wishes for your success in all your undertakings

 

I Remain                

Your Ob^t Serv^t
