Transcript

May 26, 1931. Mr. J. R. Hobbins 616 Hennessy Bldg., Butte, Montana. My dear Jim: Your letter of May 16th received. I was very glad indeed to hear from you and I am looking forward to talking with you about the prob- lem that is troubling me most at the present time. I appreciate the time you have spent and will spend in trying to unravel a bad “piece of knitting”. If it is possible for me to get away, I am going to run up and see Mary graduate and I will have a little visit with Bertha. It doesn’t seem possible that that little girl is through school! Sincerely,
