My own darling Edward
How do you like these letter
heads - Father found his
enveloped system so successful
that he tried AM letters -
I don't like it so well in these
because there is no need of it
& it is printed I think not
engraved & I only like
engraving on my letterheads
it was very good on the envelopes
because it was so clear there was
no excuse for the
letter getting
lost absolutely in case of not
finding the person addressed
& with you & Dick & Nor &
