The writing was in a fashionable feminine hand, and written with a
pencil.
It was as follows:
"T. S.: This is a friendly warning from one who dare not
communicate with you personally, for reasons which you will
discover and understand later on, if things turn out as we"--the
word "we" had been scratched out and "I" written above
it--"anticipate. Be very careful while you are in St. Louis. Do not
go on the streets alone, and go armed. Your mission is known, and
you will be watched by persons who will seek to get you out of the
way. We--that is, I, also know of your mission, and take this means
of warning you of your danger, as you have done me services in the
past without knowing it. Now, the sting of this note lies in this,
and don't forget it, don't get into any fights, no matter what the
provocation, for I have it straight that that, is the lay to do
you. If you do so, not being able to avoid it, shoot straight, and
you will come out all right in the end.
