Transcription:
I don’t seem to know what this church is. The typewriter came alright yesterday (26th). They were stuck on the street. Of course at the Post Office they knew where we live but at the Express office they did not. So when I got the letter I had to telephone to the Express to get the typewriter sent forthwith. I shall be glad to get the letter. Will write again.
