Hej Gust. Jag skickar ett kort och tackar så mycket för det kortet du skickade mig. Jag hör att du hade trevligt 4 juli i Buffalo, hade ni några flickor med er? Jag hade det härligt här i Jamestown också. Alfred och Henning arbetar här nu, så snart är väl 'alla pojkarna' från Galeton här i Jamestown. Jag antar att Hilding kan välja och vraka bland alla flickorna nu. Hej då, skriv snart. /John Beckman, 27 Broadhead Ave., Jamestown N.Y.

So instead of Jamestown, it seems Gustaf went to Buffalo for 4th July 1909.
And his friend John has a new address in Jamestown.

Så istället för Jamestown firade Gustaf tydligen 4 juli 1909 i Buffalo.
Och hans vän John har en ny adress i Jamestown.
