Text reads, in part: Dear Mr. Bartlett, Did you get my recent long letter to you ... Please let me know without fail if you can cover the children's birthday party Saturday next Aug 10th. We are giving this year on Mr. George Lewis' patio ... I have every thing to see to this year as my poor wife is still ill ... the children of the following are coming to the party ... Yours in great haste, Claude Mawby
