chance.

you for helping me to get here to
Elkland. I do not know who the kind
people are that give the money for so
many children to get out of the hot
city, but if you will thank them for me
l would be much obliged to you.
ut is such pleasure to come out
to the country in the summer and get
away from the horrid hot, old city for
while.
II hope many children will be made
as happy as I am this summer. frank

Sincerely yours,
