This is for the fund3 for planting trees in the cemetary. I’ve just learned that there is such a fund, for the “Commercial Advertiser”4 address my paper so carelessly that I get only three or four a month5. Postoffice wrote me their carriers could not deliver papers so indistinctly addressed. Would you please speak to the editor6? I’ve written them repeatedly, but they pay no attention.
Hastily WillieI am just getting over a long stretch of influenza—six weeks. But I want to write you a long letter soon. I won't write you about the sad things. I think of you and Mary7 and love you, as the old song says.
Always Willie
