Friend Myrtle-
Received the card and letter all. Q[?]H. was glad to hear from you once again. But was sorry to hear that you think of going to the Bend this winter just because I am coming. All the young people must go to work. Too Bad, well good Bye. Best Regards, B.H.W.
It looks like a steam boiler of some sorts in front of the drill derrick.
ReplyDeleteI found Myrtle here:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MK5V-HWX It appears her mother remarried - hence the c/o Charles S Worster which was confusing at first.
I'm not sure what the S. S. Howard refers to, perhaps a steam ship on the Great Lakes help to deliver the mail?
I suspect B H W is a Worster. I think a (half) cousin. I see a Bennie H Worster living in Northern Liberty, Indiana...
