To: Mrs. Rose A. Howard, Palmyra NY (care F. Forderkonz)

Syracuse, NY

Dear Frau:

Yours received to-day. Do not seem to get much other mail while you are away. Enclose post card received from Alphonse a few days ago.

Had my shoes tapped to-day.

Have been home all day and made about 300 prints. Ordered 5 (symbol that looks like an M with a circle though it) post cards to have the imprint “Howard Photo Co.” on. Expect them next Wednesday an d don’t expect to have enough for Fair week.

Monday is Labor Day. Shall probably see what I can do with paraders.

After seeing you on the train last week I went to see Mr. Sauber. His brother is running an office for the Murphy News Co. at Butte, Montana. Sauber said that Paul had gone to Mayville this summer and made a failure. I presume like a Jews failure he has made some money out of it, but probably has not satisfied Mr. A. with sale.

I presume you will want to come home Wed. or Thursday next week? Have you heard about our friend Mr. Cook (Walter?) discovering the North Pole. Think we had better spend the winter there.

You seem to be getting along all right with the children and they are probably enjoying theirselves.

Write.

Au Revoir

Chas made some photos at Mrs. Blanche Laubenheimers to-day. Baby and house. He’s getting interested in 8 x 10 camera. He believes in making few pictures and getting the 50¢ ones.
