My dear friend:
Thank you for Omaha card. Suppose you have 7 of Neb. Can’t seem to get any of that state. Have nearly 7,000 views. Not so bad for 2 years, is it? We got your frost slightly and a thunder shower too. They followed your card! Eastern Mass. had 15 in. of snow and 78° all the same day. Call again.
