Dear Sis & all
Just a line in answer to yours. I hope you are all well as can be. Excuse p.c. will write soon. You have a good lady with you. We had great doings here last night (Concert). Carrie did the clubs. We had also Dr Walford H Smith from Cawood, G. Farby , W. Weaver from Selby. It is awfully cold. I do not know when I shall get to see you Carrie. Mother wants me at home the end of this month. Love to all from Harriet & family.
See Jim on the road.
