Biographical Notes 
EDGOOSE, Harriet late COCKER now RIGGALL (1858-1916)
A Letter dated 1 December 1896 on the letterheading of HARRY W. FOSTER, Wholesale Manufacturer of Harness and Saddlery and Jobber of Leather and Saddlery Hardware, 408 Main Street, Aberdeen, South Dakota:
Dec 1st. 96
Mrs. HARRIET RIGGALL
Dear Madam:- Owing to the very early and severe winter which has come upon us your sister is again in need and if you can do so I would suggest you aid her by small (underlined) amounts (underlined) as before
Any money you send her in large amounts is wasted and she's not helped by it in the least. They do not seem to know how to use money to get good out of it
If I can be of service to you in this matter will be glad to render it. I have advanced her five dollars cash and bought her a load of hay and straw amounting to $8.00
Yours Truly
H.W.F.
