 Dear Brother
                  I write this in a hurry as
I leave for Hemosillo tomorrow
to stay for some time.    we have
been in constant revolution for
two years and for the same time
I have been living on the road &
very much occupied settling up
an estate, part in Arizona balance
in Sonora.    My home and wife is
always Hermosillo Sonora Mexico.
I enclose 4 photographs of myself &
except what you have, I have
not had my picture taken since
I left.    I weigh 188 pounds.    I
will send my wifes photograph
when I get home, and I want
you to give one of each to my sisters
and brothers, and tell them to
send theirs with their famililies.
I have no children.    Uncle is
as well as could be expected at
his age.    Good Bye with love to
all and hoping to hear from you
soon.    I remain -
            Your brother in love if not
in duty.
                                 A.F.Garrison
