Transcription

Box 525 Indianola Hello! Just a line to say I'm missing having a certain very sweet Nell drop in ever so often to say hello. When and if ever I get back to Clinton I want to be sure to see you. How are the boys? I saw their pictures in the paper recently. I like Indianola fine, but how I miss my dear friends. I almos cry for them times. Love Amy [sic]
