Dear Mamma and all,
Arrived here all right. Bro. Spangler and I are stopping at Mrs. Marsh's. It is a very pleasant place to stop, about five blocks from church. Church attendance thus far has been fine. Will be home Friday, sometime; cannot tell which train.
Love to all.
B.A. Snyder.
Mrs. S… Dr.
Rebersburg, Pa.
