The Old settlers Club had their
annual meeting today, and among other
things engaged a photograph containing a
group of all their pretty faces! - Now I
should like to have yours included, for the
purpose of adding a little grace and
dignity. You are a member in good
standing and Entitled to the honor! -
If you do not disapprove of this please sent
me one of your last & best photographs -
cabinet size.
All well with us. - am pretty well
over the pull down I had three weeks
ago. - Hope to hear that you are
well & Enjoying your comfortable
[quarterly?] -
Yours very truly
I. A. Lapham

Col. Sam Stone.
