January 24, 1919. Dr. O. M. Lanstrum, Helena, Mont. Dear Dr. Lanstrum:- Have you heard anything about the Linderman calendar? Are they working on it or have you gotten the estimate yet? Chas. is getting over the fly [sic]. He has not been very sick and has taken good care of himself and will soon be all right. I am going to ask a favor.
