  EDGOOSE, Harriet late COCKER now RIGGALL (1858-1916). A Letter from Angie D. FOSTER in Aberdeen, South Dakota, dated 20 April 1897 "Mrs. M. RIGGALL Dear Madam:- I write you again in regard to your sister LIZZIE as I do not think she has written you within the past week, owing to the severe illness of her husband, who was at one time given up by the Drs. but is still alive. His trouble is pneumonia and ccame about in this way: there was a well on the place and he went down in the well to clean it out. As he did not have the money to hire a man, and as he was unaccustomed to this work he cought (sic) cold and has been very sick, for a week LIZZIZIE cared for him, her two babies and her greenhouse alone, and had a very hard time of it before I knew what her condition was, when I found out the situation I employed a nurse to go there in the day time and one at night so that now the strain is not so hard upon her, but as she had no sleep for nearly two weeks she is in a bad condition her self and her nursing baby is also suffering from the effect of her want of care for herself. The Dr. said Wednesday night that there was not one chance in a thousand of her husband living until morning but by careful nursing he was brought through, and possibly may live yet it is a question. As I wrote you before they are in extreme need and if you can assist them it will be most gladly received. LIZZIE is very proud and does not like to acknowledge these things, but the facts are just as I have stated them, as you will find if you write Dr. MC.NUTT or anyone you are acquainted with here. Yours Truly, (signed) HARRY W. FOSTER P.S. When I called to see LIZZIE this morning she said that they had sent word from the bank that there was $50 from you
