Alma Mich Jan 24. 1910 My old Friend, I suppose you will be more than surprised to receive these few lines from a forgotten friend, but as it's Frank to 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 he is getting along. Suppose you have forgotten me by this time. Kindly answer these few lines in the near future.
