Dear Lizzie,
You seem off on another journey. Have combed the old loom; found many old friends. Does it look familiar? Plans to attend church where Frank preached tomorrow. Will awaken many memories. We went to the old home today and it looks mighty good yet. This will make me smile when I get back to Memphis. Love
