The message reads: Minto, 10/28/06, Hello Emma, How are you getting along. I have been expecting to get that photo from you but haven't got it yet. Did you get the one I sent you from MItchell. We are having lovely weather. We had our first snow to-day. Give my best respects to all. I remain your affectionate friend. Ans. soon. George H. Ratz, Box 40, Minto, Man."
