Kind Friend: I was truly glad to hear from you and that you are going to see my dear husband soon. I hope it will not be long till I see him, for it seems like years since I have seen poor F. I hope my loved one will come out better yet, for I can never stand it. I hope and pray that F. will have a show for his life. How short our young lives were together. F. was always kind to me and it almost took my life when I was robbed of my darling husband. I was an orphan girl. My dear mother died when I was five years old. I had a hard time all my life till I was eighteen, when I was married to F., last September. I was so happy with him. He was a good boy and never drank till he met with the Market Street gang and they got him to drinking and smoking that hop. This is the Fourth of July and F.'s gray-haired mother and I are here grieving over the loved one in prison. If a wife ever loved a husband truly I love mine. I remain your friend, MRS. F. A. * * * * * Canon City, Colo., Sept. 22, 1904. Dear Mother Wheaton: I was glad to hear from you, which I always am, for your letters are full of kind words and it is a pleasure to read them in my lonely cell and know there is one true friend who prays for me. Kind words are few for me now when I am in need and going through the most terrible and trying time of a lifetime. But I am living in hopes and trusting God for my future, come what may. I surely thank you for seeing the Governor in our behalf. My mother and wife are well. Their letter to you must have been missent, for they wrote. This leaves me well. Yours sincerely, F. A. * * * * * Canon City, Colo., March 26, 1905. Mrs. E. R. Wheaton: Dear Mother: I was very glad to hear from you as I did not know what had become of you. Well, the law has been found good and the death watch is over us. Poor ---- was hung the 6th. Our time begins the 21st of May. Yes, I am trusting God and I know He has heard my prayers, and whatever comes will be for the best. P---- is getting better again they tell me. A---- is the same as ever. I wrote to my mother today and told her I heard from you. Yours sincerely F. A. * * * * * Canon City, Colo., April 12, 1905. Mrs. E. R. Wheaton, Los Angeles, Cal.:
