[excerpts]
I am Dale, son of Elmer E. Martin, son of M. D. Martin. I am living with my Uncle Riley, and am attending college in the freshman year.

Dear Martin Family:
The return of the family letter finds me back in Evanston after a pleasant summer on the prairies of North Dakota. To most of you the name “North Dakota” means but little; to me its freedom, its association with rough but kindly people has been, in the last four years, the source of my greatest development. Make us a visit sometime.
This year I expect to enter the Northwestern Medical School. This course will necessitate my being in the city most of the time; but I hope to room with my Uncle Riley, who, as you know, is still single -- fortunately for me (and as Uncle Riley says, for him.)
I am surely glad to be a member of so large and worthy a family as that of the Martins; and I shall certainly do nothing intentionally of which you can be ashamed.
