C. A. Earle Rinker letter to his mother March 11, 1907, page 3

MACMASTER & MACMASTER MINING STOCK BROKERS P.O. BOX 1063 GOLDFIELD, NEV. - 3 - You can tell the people back home if they want to hear from me just to drop a line and I will be glad to write any of them. I write 3 or 4 personal letters every day but I am always glad to answer a letter from any one back home. What is the matter with S. Shoemaker. I did not know he was sick. I am feeling fine and eating all I can. I went out and bought some peanuts a while ago. We pay 10 cents here for a sack not as big as you get at home for 5 cents. I must have got your letter mixed with India's. I was in a hurry the morning I mailed them. I had wrote the letters the night before and did not seal them, expecting I would get a letter the next morning. Well I will quit and go to dinner now 5:00. There is quite a bit of trouble brewing tonight. I am half afraid to stick my head out of the door. I look for the labor trouble to be short but from present outlook it will be sweet. John did not work today. He is showing Wiley around. Ray Dingman one of the fellows that was out prospecting just had a fit here in the office. We thought he was done for but he has come to alright. Well I will quit for this time. Your Son Earle
