Transcription

No. 5 Southwest corner of the house which fronts west, or to be more accurate a little more northwest than due west. Grapevine hides the south end of front porch. Windows in the gable end in the second story belong to Mother’s room. She spends her time by the one you see the most of. In the highest story the window best seen in the gable end belongs to my room. The dormer window were put in the roof last October. The dining room is on the ground floor of this southwest corner. A little fenced-in flower garden is in the foreground.
