Black-and-white view of a rocky lakeshore with several rowboats and canoes pulled up on the shingle beside a low wooden pier. A man in a hat and shirtsleeves stands on the pier while two figures sit in a boat, and a wooded far shore stretches across the water.

Hello Jake & Eva-
We are spending a week up here
having a nice time. Lots of fishing-
In fact I never saw so many
bull-heads in one place. Nor
so many game fish. Thanks for your
nice letter Jake. Will write you when
we get home. Mary & Klewl, still in
Auburn. Expect to be called
any time. E.L.
