Handwritten letter to his "Darling Wife," in full: "I came up here last night to send a load of supplies to the ranch. Will have to go back to El Paso this morning. I would like the best in the world to go out and see you and our babies but can't do so now. Think I can get out about Sunday one week. As you will see [in] the agreement Mr. Jenkins gives you I am in the real estate business and am doing splendid. We are going to come out all right; will tell you all when I see you." In a postscript at the head, Garrett adds: "Love to you and kisses for our babies. Write to me at once Address 20412 Masu Ave." In fine condition.
