1 Portage. Wis. April 21 / 98 Dear Brother John This will be your birthday and you too will have reached over the
sixty line. What a surprising family we are, three of us over sixty and only the youngest of the eight under fifty. That is
quite a record considering that a number of us have suffered from ill health so much of the time. Well John with all my heart
I wish you many happy returns of the day, may your later years be your best ones 02420
