Jim’s [?] letter [ ] a letter from Agatha and a card from C B L A
Help! If anyone can make out the last 2 lines, I’d appreciate it!
By the way…it’s 11:25 AM and we’ve barely gotten a snowflake! The news is showing video from areas not too far from here with upp to a foot of the white stuff… I hope that’s the story for the rest of the day because I’m on my way out to a genealogy workshop to help some “beginners” find their families.

Dave, I an make out some of it…
“Jim’s letter returned a letter from Agatha and a card from CBLA”
Apparently a report on mail delivery?
Thanks Greg! I’m going to wait to see if any one else beside you and Donna have suggestions and re-edit the transcription.
I think Greg has the missing word. I saw it as ‘killer’ and knew that wasn’t right! Letter sounds much better!
OK – this is just a stab at it. I copied the photo, enlarged it, and changed the color and contrast. This is what I see: Jim’s ___ returned a letter from Agatha and a card from CBLA.
Wish I could include the altered photo.
Donna
Yikes! Other than the _____ I think you’ve got it! I’m not uch of a picture edittor other than crop or enlarging… I’m lucky I can get these picture scans up as all!
(FYI— Agatha was his baby sister who he must have really liked. He visited her in Claremont, NH many times. I have a “Manifest of Immigrants to the United States…” that shows him coming from Williamsburg, ON where he declared that his destination was Agatha Dickson, Claremont, NH. He gave the name “Agatha” to my mother as her middle name)
