u.s."
The Fairmont Sentinel: The truth
of the above quotation is illustrated
in letter unsigned and coming from
an unknown source received on April
by Mrs. o. RWolf, wife of the we'll
known merchant of this city. Follow
ing is a copy of the letter:
"Mankato April 2, 10. Mrs. Wolf
Kindly accept the money which
think | owe you Owe you a little
more. shall send the rest after earn
ing it."
Enclosed i'm the letter were four
ten dollar bills. The letter recalls to
Mrs. VOLTS mind that in the year
1898, when residing in Waseca, be-
fore her marriage-when she was
Clara Sydow-she lost in some my
sterious manner about fifty dollars.
She was never able to get any clue
to the money from that time to this,
and the incident had passed out OF
her memory until refreshed by the
receipt of the letter. Mrs. Wolf is
of course glad TO get the money, and
regrets that she is unable to thank
the party, whose hand writing is that
of woman, for her kindness and
honesty i'm returning the loss after
so long a lapse of time.
