Elizabethtown, Penn'a. 4-23-'14
Dear Friend,
Rec'd your card on Tue. dinner. Was glad to hear from you. Yes, had a very nice time over Easter at Helen's place. Who would not enjoy being in her company? Some of that storm reached E-town on Sun. Didn't you join the army yet? I just heard this evening that they had fire at Hershey. Resp'y, Lizzie.
