The Letters - May 3, 1915 - To Mrs. Anna Hay (staying with Mrs. Austin) from Daughter-in-Law Alice

 


                                                               Woodlyn, Pa.
                                                                Aug. 3rd, 1915


Dear Mother,

When you have finished your visit with Mrs. Austin and are ready to come home if you let us what day and time someone will meet you in Philadelphia. Jack took the auto apart on Friday, and I don't know when it will be in running order again for he has not been able to get the repair man he wants yet. 

Jack (son of Mrs. Hay) has not been feeling well today so did not try to work any. Remember us to all the folks at Oak Lane and let us know when to meet you. 

With love from all,
Hastily, 
Alice
