Transcription

For Cousin Martha, This house, close by us, is owned by Mrs. Turck, who is Matron at Togus Soldiers Home, Togus, Maine. She lets her rooms in this House, in Summer to people who wish rooms, and she is here on a 3 weeks vacation and takes her meals where we do. I talked with her about the Soldiers Home and H.P. men who have been, and are now there. She says it is a nice place about 50 miles from Brunswick. Sometimes 2,000 aged soldiers are there. She is a nice, good woman about 50 years old. With love Helen
