Harry (No II) sends you his love says he wished you would go to the city Hall at the sheriffs office and see Michael Halloran tell him all about him (Harry) & ask him how hose 48 is. & if there is any chances of getting into the Fire Department also to give my respects to all inquiring friends & ask him if i can get one of the old Exempt Fire Badges.
