Challenges in Epigraphy, Part 1

I am calling this the "Las Animas Letter" only because that is the town it was mailed from. I cannot possibly take the time to figure out what the sender is trying to convey. I guess if anyone wants to decipher what this letter is trying to tell me, they are more than welcome to give it their best shot. I received this towards the end of January, 2016, and I have a scan of the Priority Mail envelope in which it came, but I am withholding it out of concerns for the privacy of the sender. The original I am tossing into the burn pile as soon as I make this post.
