Message Transcription:
"6-5-1910

Dear friend,

I have just read a letter from Maggie saying you could not come to our meeting. I was so disappointed, as I was hoping so to meet you there and enjoy the trip together. My part is full of sorrow, but the master has seen fit to try us in many ways. I trust we will all come out brighter for it. With love and best wishes for your birthday, I am as ever, your friend,

[Signature unclear]"
