Dear Mother,
I thank you for your
remembrace of my birthday
41 years. An Umbrella Hughes
thought fitted me better than a
hat a more efficient shelter
from rain or sun.

Charlie Kempton called at
the Store yesterday is well so
is his folks. Lillie Hawes
married a deaf mute last
week I think, he is a type
setter earning earning about
$20.00 per week they commence
housekeeping on a small
scale. Coz. Mary gave them a purse
with 100.00 in gold therein. Shubael
seems satisfied with the affair
