Here is the next letter. It is from an insurance company called Barry & Barry.  It has to do with the death of grandpa's father.

I wonder if that was quick to hear from an Insurance company about this sort of thing. I don't know. Maybe it was long. It was all settled anyway.

Here are a few random pictures for you to look at.

No idea who this is. It was taken in Minneapolis by A. Larson located at 313 Washington Ave.S.


No idea who they are either. It was taken at Medford, Wis by I think Zeit. I don't know if that's right. It's hard to tell if the first letter is a Z or maybe an H.

Another picture where I have no clue who they were or when it was taken.

Well that's all I have for you today. I hope you enjoy the week
So till next time.
Your friend,
Sandy
