The writer comments on the simpler lives of past generations, hopes that Amy and ‘the Baby’ are well (Amy FitzSimons Walker’s first child would have been a toddler in early 1910), thanks Emmie for hams she has sent, notes Emmie’s imminent departure for Washington on Monday afternoon, sends love to Sam and the Hudsons, and promises a visit. Signed ‘Affectionately, Josie’ with a long flourishing underline. Manuscript self-corrections are shown as strike-throughs (hope, the, anticipating) to reflect the writer’s lively, revising pen.
