Sheboygan Wis. Oct 2 ‘17 Dear Brother: in my letter to you Sunday I forgot to tell you that I will print those pictures for you the very first chance I get. Esther and I are again taking up the evening course at high school which consumes quite a bit of what would otherwise be leisure time. Everything here is as usual- not very much new that I know of. Love and regards from all. Jennie
