there will be about two more Christmas or after. I have had my for-
tune told. He has black curly hair and a beautiful (sp) face (?) of
whiskers. I haven't seen him yet and expect I never will. You stated

love and would be glad to receive a few lines from them. Write soon
and give my love to all my friends.
Your friend,
Julia A. F. Crisler.
