Mrs. Nellie Holmes,
13 Gleason St.
Dorchester, Mass.
Hear often how gen-
erally you are getting along, and
your family.
Best for us all. Well, it
is what blessings are daily.
Deut. I find this a beauti-
ful city; shade trees by the
millions. This is the town
from where I slept
last night.
Leaving my own querido
at home doing much for
comfort. I overall have little
to tell you. Love to you three.
F.B.
Aug. 31, 1915.
