Dear Edward:

I am writing to wish
you many happy returns of
your birthday and many
of them.

I suppose you would like
to know that Heath Angelo
has been married

School opens the 26th
of Aug.

Yesterday Nellie Schmidt swam [crossed out: sam]
across the bay from mole to mole
in three hours and five minute
being the first lady.
