    Osteopathic Physician

    Ellensburg, Washington

    Nov. 14, 1926
Miss Betty Ezelle
Jena, La.

Dear Betty:

I have been trying to get an old Smith's English Grammar like we used to
study at the old Jena School when we went to school there.  If you can find
one of those old books for me I shall certainly appreciate it.  I have been
unable to find one of those old books because they have been out of print
for some time.  If you can find one please send it to me C.O.D.

I enjoyed my trip to the old home place six years ago, but I did not get to
stay half long enough.  No doubt many changes have taken place since I saw
you, but I am hoping for another visit to my old childhood haunts before
many months have passed.  Things have changed a lot since I was a boy, but I
would like to bring my three boys to the places where I used to play when I
was a boy.

Where is DeWitt and what is he doing?  Was sorry that I did not get to see
him when I was down there.   How is Aurelia?  I visited her at Gueydan, for
a few minutes.  Would like to hear from any body out in that community.
Almost anything you write would be news to me.

Give my regards to any of my old friends whom you may see, and tell them I
have not forgotten the days of long ago.

Hoping you can find a copy of that old Smith's Grammar, I remain as ever

  You friend,
   L H. Walker
