Detroit, Mich Jan 24. 1910. My Dear Friend, I suppose you will be more than surprised to receive these few lines from a forgotten friend, but as it is Frank T. Haley is vis- iting at our home this week, and we got into a conversation about you so I said, I think I will send him a card and find out how she is getting along. Suppose you have forgotten me by this time. Kindly answer these few lines in the near future.
