Letter from Thomas Perry Baker to Amy Walker, Sept. 10, 1940 (page 3, closing)

Final page of the September 10, 1940 letter from the Rev. Thomas Perry Baker to Amy Walker, with closing invitation, salutation, and signature. The page is written on the verso of a folded sheet, so the Wood Grove Farm letterhead is visible turned 90 degrees at the right edge and writing from the other side bleeds through faintly. The signature ‘Thomas P. Baker’ is in a large but unsteady hand. [confirmed the closing geography (‘We live in King George County, 25 miles south of Fredericksburg’), the invitation to visit, and the abbreviated salutation ‘Mr. W.’ for Mr. Walker. The signature reads ‘Thomas P. Baker’ (the full first name, not abbreviated).]

The Wood Grove Farm, Jersey, Virginia letterhead is visible at the right margin, rotated 90 degrees, because the sheet was folded. Writing from the reverse of the sheet (the middle of the letter, see page 389) shows through faintly. Wood Grove Farm in King George County, Virginia is approximately 25 miles south of Fredericksburg — the location matches Baker’s description in this page and the historic-house context (Wakefield/Port Conway/Monroe Hall) detailed on page 389.
