Her writing is difficult as she uses very fancy letters to begin many words. The postmark on front of letter is pretty much illegible...on the back is another stamp "rec'd Lisbon, Ohio Oct 4, 1909". (perhaps that's how letter was routed?) On the letter she has written ?arlington V or Pa. She speaks of her brother and sister and their ages. My mother would have been 17 at the time, so am going to assume that Leona was abt. same age. The context of the letter is somewhat like a "pen pal" letter. If this is your family, please contact me.
