Letter from Grace E. Hall to Clarence Edmonds Hemingway

1895 December 19th. 11 P.M.

Dearest, I forgot to give you the little packet for Harold. Hope it will not trouble you to get it to him - Cheer up: only ten hours dear; let them do their worst and they can't hold father time back. --

If you should send me word tomorrow that

you could not come to Clyde for me, remember I shall expect you to supper instead

Now goodnight, Sweetheart Your Sunshine.

A Question of Honesty How many men do you suppose can tell the value of an Old Violin? Not 1 in 1,000! Consequently an investor will show good sense by buying from a house whose guaranteee is unassailable.

An assortment of Old Violins will be sent with privilege of examination, to reliable people in any part of the country. Particulars will be found in our brochure "Old Violins," mailed free. LYON & HEALY, Wabash Ave. & Adams St.
