Dear Thomas:
You did not leave yet for Toronto, have you? I suppose you are quite busy packing up all personal effects. Say, take the kitchen utensils with you, because you may have to do some cooking there. Well, you should be ready to depart by now, are you not? I suppose you could not not [sic] be at liberty to drop me a line before your departure, are you? I know it is hard to answer. However, I now realize that you are in a stampead [sic] these days.
I was planning a trip dow[n] to Coleman but I shall not trouble now. “No use to go where you not wanted” is the old saying.

When are you going? Say, listen, do you think you would be at liberty to see me if I should come to Coleman? That is if you not gone yet, then. I would feel somewhat surprised if you could spare a moment to glance at you [sic] cousin. You have always made some excuses for not writing and I believe you would make an excuse for not seeing me while I am there. No! that would not do. I feel very much like saying that you are no longer my cousin; but, for your former services and evil suggestions I still wish to call you my cousin. Should I get an answer to this letter stating that you are in Coleman yet. I will depart the very same day and the following day will be the day of “Resorection” [sic].3
Should you be away by this time, I would feel as though I was a person from myself and never have had relatives. Do you realize what the world is? Do you know how to use your fellow relation? However, I am expressing my final request to you, and that “Be reasonable”. Try to follow my directions if you cannot judge for yourself. Enough said.
Please answer as soon as you think is reasonable delay, or rather long enough you have carried my letter in your pocket not answered.
P.T.O.4
How is everybody at home. Kindly give my heartiest wishes to every body and oblige.Sincerely yours, D.O. Macko
Try and answer soon because I may be away for a few days soon and may around Coleman.
Good Bye!
D.O. Macko
