Dear Sir: think we could accom-
moGate you with rooms, and as for
music one Of my daughters plays the
parlor organ and gittar; another one
plays the ACCORDION and banjo; play
the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.
We all sing and if you are good at
tenner singing you would fit right in
when we get to singing gospel hims
evenings, for none of us sings tenner.
Or if you plays the base vial we have
one right here in the house. If you
want music as well as rooms and
board we could accommodate you and
there would be no extra charge for it.
