Did a little exploring yesterday, looked around the Otis Bay, that town has a grand character. No tourist look at all. An artistically different style of architecture…Please mail a note as enclosed to Renne and sign it W.K. Am feeling fine, broiled me a chicken last night. Very good." In fine condition.
