[Letter from Minnie O. Rawlings to Charles B. Moore, October 13, 1901]
Letter sent from Minnie O. Rawlings to Charles B. Moore informing him that she has received the invitation to Linnet's wedding courtesy of her mother and says that it may be a difficult time for Moore as he will have an empty nest. She also discusses her teaching position in Mexico City, how she enjoys the climate, her health, and her plans for Christmas vacation. She notes that Mexico has an abundance of historical places that would be of interest to Charles, primarily Chapultepec.
