So glad to hear such splendid things of Mr XYZ. I want very much to meet him soon after I get to Seffner. Is he a businessman? In what line? In what manner, may [I sle?]? are you of "The Chas. H Kerr family."? and have high regard for that pub house. As is [trainps?], I got my training in the J.W.W. We had little respect for them. They were no help in anyway and interested only in getting by. I'd like to suggest - if you possibly can - 2 or 3 additions to your list of periodicals. I'll mail you samples. I wish I'd replace Mr. XYZ as your angel (and you be my cherub?) but I'm barely getting by on my $20.00 a week. This jib entails various incidental [ontlays?]. And now goodnight dear friend. Yrs, J.A.B. [on side] I'm awaiting the Womens Report (from Berlin).
