Message to Miss Mabel Birch of Faribault, Minn., postmarked Aug. 11, 1910:

Dear Mabel,

I did not know whether you were home or not but that I would write to let you know I was still in Duluth. How did you enjoy California? I had thought of coming down to Faribault this summer, but brother Ed and his wife were here last week, so I decided to stay in Duluth. Write to me soon. 

Sincerely your friend,
Carolyn Detert

Yes, indeed that seems to be the case.

Hi. We arrived at 5 p.m. Had good roads from Ironwood on. Seeing everybody here and plan to leave Thursday morning for Iowa. Thank you so much for putting up with us and we were so happy to see you all. Only sorry we didn't have more of a visit, but will hope to entice you to Houston ere long. You have more snow in Marquette than they have here! Pauley is a good traveler. No more trouble with the car. 

Love to all, Jean.

Yes, yes. Both appear to be the case. Good eye and thanks!

Slim chances to get anything to eat tonight is what I just heard. Guess we'll have get on earth once more. Nothing doing on board. — Greta

My dear friend Bertha,

I will surprise you with a long letter some of those fine days. Love to all of you from M. L.

"Wish you would write. G. S. is at Winona. All well here."
