Transcription

"My Dear Emily -- Am thinking of you and Mabel today. I am sending a line to tell you so. Can’t do so to Mable because I have no street + number, and a city like Melrose has to have street, at least. Have been at home since 14th of Oct. and very busy. Am glad I met you at one of the pleasantest vacations I ever had. May we meet again sometime. Huldah L. Baker"
