A Letter from Ed Sauter, Jr.

A letter from Ed Sauter, Jr. to his mother took its time about getting from France to Hobart — or, at any rate, about getting into the Hobart newspapers in mid-January 1919.

Ruth Bullock Mackey, still waiting for Dr. Dwight to come home, took up residence in the "Norton flat," which was somewhere on Main Street — south Main, probably, if this was the same Norton building where Daisy Lambert Bullock started up a boardinghouse in 1915.

I also like the article next to it about paving the intersection of
3rd and Main so it will draw more "autoists" to town.
