E. L. Morrison,[???]Dear Daughter,I arrived here on the 10th At 4:30 A.M. Of the 11th we was aroused by the alarm of fire. I was in the 4 floor [???] story near where this fire was and not in a mood for cremation. I left in a hurry with part of my clothes in my hand. Draped my vest and wallets. Did not stop to put it on. I did not think it was worth stopping for that. When I got on the street I had a coat and pants to put on and that was better than a great many others. I had to buy me a vest and clean shirt before I could go to breakfast. I had two large satchels full of [???] and a Winchester riffle and pistol and 300 rounds of ammunition. Lost all. I can't get another paper or would send one to you to give an account of the fire. I sent one home but did not tell that I lost every thing I had. Write me to Santa Rosali's, Chilmahua, Rep. Mexico, Care of James Flannington.Love to all the Family,Andrew J. Stewart
