Written on back: 81 Manchester St. Battle Creek, Mich. Sept. 22, 1911 Dear Jacob, - It is been 4 Months since I came to Battle Creek, and I wish I could see you and Grandma and Aunt [illegible]. President Taft was in Battle Creek yesterday, and came up to see the Sanitarium. I saw him, but I would rather have seen you, my dear boy. He surely is a big man. I hope you are well and getting nicely started in your school. With lots of love and kisses from Aunt Kate.
