Fredonia, Kansas
Dear Fred,
The date on these two enclosed letters will tell you they were written almost a year ago. The envelope shows from wear and notations that it has been many places in serach of you.
Our Christmas Cards to you came back the same way but this, the first letter mailed to you after you left Miami, was the last to return. It came back yesterday.
