Stedman Bros., no. 1306 posted at Edmonton on Aug. 31 of an unclear year to Mrs. R. Thompson, 71 Post St., Rochester, N.Y. "Dear Mother, We have had nothing but rain and still it looks like more. The people are all going to the farm in a auto but mother and I. I hope you had a good time at the cottage. Labor Day they are not even going to have a parade here. I think they are slow. Mildred" Hopefully Mildred's mother sent back a bit of a pep talk.
