Now I supposed
that would be the
question in order, when
you learned Althea
coming in Aug.
Don’t see how I can
spare my boy for
a visit to Ind. He would
enjoy it though. He
wanted me to get him
a pony this morning.
He hasn’t much time for
Grandma Miller. Huston

Dear Grandma
Something all rolled up came from Connersville this morning. Santa will open it tomorrow night.
Yours

In 1910, Willard was only 3 years old. It is likely that the postcard (and the one posted yesterday) were written by Willard’s father, Huston Hackleman.
