Transcription

Monday Night Fine bright sunshiny weather, but the nights are cold. Even had a little frost in some parts of the state. Tell ma I never found my shirt. I think the Pullman porter must have stolen it. That is all I missed tho. Queer he didn't take anything else. How is every body? Vernon [sic]
