Notes

Letter 1 text: Dear John, After our telephone conversation his morning, H. B. #126, the tuition bill, came up and was finally passed. If you have not already done so, I would suggest that you contact your Senator within the next few days in order that it will be passed this session. I will probably see you later this week.

Letter 2 text: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Cantrell, I have recently learned of your marriage, and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you and wish you many years of marital bliss. The future of our nation depends upon the home as a cornerstone to the foundation of our civilization. I am happy to count you among my constituents and invite your criticisms and council on any issue of government.
