Dear Biddie
Just a line to let you know I am doing alright. We have got to put about six or seven weeks in here and then we are going up the line. I hear the mounteds are going away about the middle of October, I could have got away with them if I had known in time. […] week if I am not too lazy.
Hurrah C.M.
