User-Contributed Transcription My dear dear Nephew I keep wishing all the while that I might do something to assist you in your struggle to overcome that troublesome fellow called tobacco but do seem to have either strength or wisdom enough to invest as I should like to some grand victory that would make him glad to say good bye at once and so I have at last concluded to content myself with trying a little so that you at least have something to whisper that you are unnumbered and sympathized with most sincerely.Now for the next 30 days you are to earn 10 cts each 24 hours that you suceed in keeping this enemy out of your way $1.00 of which I inclose in anticipation and the rest I shall be wonderfully happy to be permitted to pay as it is earned.But--O dear unclear do not fail to seek the most effectual help that can be granted by begging our Heavenly Father to give you strength.
