Maybe

Maybe I have this figured out now. Anyway I was refinishing the pie safe from the basement at mom and dads and found an old letter in it stuffed up in the corner. The date on it is October 20th 1890 something the last digit is obscured. I think it is signed by Edith Carpenter its a little hard to read but mom said the safe came from the Shoemakers. So I called Dick and Jackie to find out when she was born. They said Dec 24 1888. So she could have been 10 or 11 when she wrote it. Anyway, I have it in an frame. Good conversation piece.
