Notes

This house is numbered #12. It has two doorbells, which means it was used as a two-family residence. There is an unusual sideways window on the second floor. The house in the rear right looks to be much older, having two additions on the rear. The house on the right is made of brick, which is a little uncommon. The sidewalk is made of brick, and there is no granite curbing, which could also signify an older neighborhood.

Dear Mrs. Goodell: Will be glad to have the two books if you will be kind enough to secure them for me. Hope you are both well. Saw Mr. G on street the other day but he failed to see me. Would so love to see you both. Come down and hear my new graphophone. Love Dora
