Mrs. Rila Sanborn
Welton, Maine
Mrs. Ad in church—widow.
Didn't you miss me? I landed right
with both feet—two, in the mud.
Wilma, we're singing an alto solo.
Fine thing—eating—foot-picked
berries. Wish you were here.
Had a fine time
and goy it with me. Wife—Sat. Went to church—
Up to the University.
