My dear Frank:
I was glad to receive your nice letter and that you got the position as fireman that you wished. I am sure it must have been very hard for you at first but there will be a good chance for you to become engineer after a while.
I wish you success in all your undertakings. Am glad also that Joe is ambitious and wants to better himself. As to the US Customs, I know nothing about the requirements for examination, but I will write to father and perhaps he can send you a list. Shields is through his examinations at "Lich" and Houston will return next week from Cornell University. I hope you will come out some day to see them when you have a day off. Houston I expect will get work in an architect's office and Shields is in an automobile repair shop for the summer.
Neil and Miss Burr are quite well and wish to be remembered to you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. C A Burr

Dear Frank:
Your note of Jan. 4th was received the next day and I intended writing to say I was very glad that there was a prospect of your getting on the road as fireman, and eventually as Engineer - and I should have written sooner, but the day your letter came Neil was taken very ill - and the doctor pronounced it, in a couple of days - appendicitis, and he has been ill ever since, and is still in bed - as we have no trained nurse and no servant it has kept us pretty busy - I think Dr. [Story?] is going to bring him out all right without an operation -
Shields is having his midyear examinations this week and next at the Institute of Technology, which keeps him pretty busy.
George got on very quickly as fireman if I remember correctly. I hope you won't have to wait long - we will all be very glad to hear of your success and shall hope to hear from you and see you when you can get an afternoon off. If Shields and Neil were here, they would join me in sending regards -
Yours most sincerely
