Postcard from A.J. to Milton, Coconut Grove, Florida, February 7, 1911

 Item — Box: M0015-3, Folder: 39

Scope and Contents

Text in A.J. Tomlinson's hand:

"My little dear, I know you would love to see papa, and it is the same with me. But we sacrifice for Jesus. I'll come and see my boy some time. I see the big water out through the window where I am sitting. I hope you and mama and brother and sisters are all well and getting along good. God bless you all. Be good, and obey mama. Be nice in Sunday School. Pray for papa, and I'll pray for you.”

Preparing for a ten-week mission trip to the British Commonwealth of the Bahamas, A.J. penned this postcard to five-year old Milton, postmarked February 7, 1911, in Coconut Grove, Florida.
