“Friend Edward: —
Irma Ford asked me to tell you that the young people are giving Orton Hooper a post card shower this week Orton is very poorly and we fear will not live to see another winter. They intend to give Ray Lacy a post card shower Jan 1 1911 , he is an[?] age then. I came to the city Monday and must be here until the last of next week. Have affairs at probate court to look after.

Orton’s address is
