Harriet: July 24, 1928 Chicago, Ill.

Dear Friends,
Another week done. This weekend in Wisconsin is the start of Deer gun season. Right now this has been the warmest November I can think of. This will be a harder hunting season because there is no snow on the ground. Water is not even frozen. The first shot deer hear and they will heading to the swamps. They will also have an easier time hiding in plain sight also.
Anyway, here is the next letter from Harriet:

As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what it says:

                Chicago, Illinois

Answer immediately
    Please.

A few of the words I was not sure of so I'm pretty sure I got them wrong.
Not a whole lot to comment on.
It sounds like Grandpa was always looking for a new joke. Plus I think he liked to tell jokes.
I just might have to find a few jokes to share from the joke book.

 Here are the next viewer cards from the "Panama 1906" set:

 15. Steam Shovel in Cut, Bas Obispo, Panama.

16. French Machinery in Fill, Pedro Miguel.

These two are showing views of the work going on at the beginning of the construction of the Panama  Canal.
I'm trying to figure out what the French machine is doing.

Here is a page from the joke book:

I thought since someone is always talking about jokes I'd show you a a whole page. Enjoy.

Here is a random picture for you to look at:

No idea who they are or when it was taken. But it was taken by Rash at Appleton, Wis.

Well that's about all I have to share with you this time.
Remember if you are a hunter, have a safe and successful hunt.
I hope you will drop by again real soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
