Friend Edward:— Am sending you a Memorial card just to commemorate [the – crossed out] what tomorrow stands for in National History. Yesterday we had a jolly time in Ford’s Grove. The school and some of the mothers were there and had a fine picnic. Orton H came over and took our pictures. The Bowne Center Ministers wife is buried this afternoon. Jessie and Thurzie passed but Bertha failed in two studies. Will tell you more about it if you do not wait too long before writing
[written in margin:]
Hope to hear from you before long. C.M.V.”
