My Dear Miss Tate-
I got your letter this morning and am awfully sorry Maude is not so well.  I hope she is better-
I enclose a telegram that came for her Thursday night. I had it forwarded to her care of Miss Tate.  
I could not (pg-2) make the operator understand the first name over the telephone-  I guess though 
she got it all right.  Hoping to take you for a ride in the auto when it is working properly before 
very long, and with kind regards.  I am most sincerely- Tench C Coxe
