July 12, 1917
Dear Blanche:
Sorry not to see you when I called last week.
I hope your mother is much better.
This paper has been on for 150 years, it is said.
This house (where I am) is off the main street
and quite, cool, and pleasant.
We have a lovely garden of fruits and vegetables
which help out wonderfully, with a strawberry
bed in its prime.
Love to all -
Carrie"
