My Dear Sister Gertrude:
This is a gaiter which
we caught in a big fish net.
We sure had a fight with him.
I left the nicest shells
that I found at Galveston and
Key West at Miama. May get
time to hunt some real nice
ones later. I have a good job
for all summer at $42 per mo.
And board if I want it.
Love from your Bro. Grover.
