The Letters - May 14, 1921 - To Mrs. Anna Hay from Mrs. C.A. Matthews (Dentist Wife)
May 14, 1921
Dear Mrs. Hay
It was with regret that I learned just the other day that you had been quite ill again. I do so hope that that you will soon recover and that you may be able to be among your friends who miss you so much, once more.
These flowers by their beauty and fragrance, can import to you the love I have always had for you ever since I have known you.
Your Sincere Friend,
Mrs. C.A. Matthews
The Dentist's Wife
Trolley Time - Before & After - Johnstown Passenger Railway
Try as I might - there was very little I can do to fix up my original image. So I did a rare AI take on it. I thought it came out nice except for the three-legged horse. But if you look at the black and white picture - it also shows a three-legged horse due to the angle the photographer was standing at when he took the image. Plus I have no way to verify that the surrounding buildings are correct or even actually there - it's too hard to tell. The railway was a very important way to connect most sections of the city and surrounding neighborhoods. It was cheap and easy to use. And all the rails used were made right here in Johnstown.
