Have just returned from Mr. Palms funeral, it is the first Catholic funeral I have ever attended + was on a very grand scale - all the Stove Works turned out + the men made a big show.

Yesterday I had a call from Fred Fletcher who used to live in Belfast + married Capt. O.W. French's daughter. He is editor of a paper at Alpena, Mich -Alpena is about 150 miles from here on Lake Huron + 10,000 inhabitants- + was on his way to the Republican State Convention at Grand Rapids. I enjoyed seeing him very much. His wife is in Belfast, he expects her to return sometime next month. The Democrats + Greenbackers have "fused" in this state + expect to carry their ticket in November. Am [rather?] sorry they expect to put the Library Building on the Miller property. It seems to me the Crosby lot very much is best + more desirable. Detroit is increasing rapidly, it is now over 200,000 + becoming more of a business center every year. Have not seen Belle Anderson for some. Saw a young fellow on the street last week who used to be clerk for E. L. Bean in Searsmont, he is traveling for a Boston house. Hope you are all well + will write when you have time. Your affec. son, Ralph

If you have any papers at the Club or Press Office that vies full account of the affairs wish you would cut the articles and send them. If you have the Portland Press at the Office it would give probably fullest accounts - Like the "City Press" very much - You did not write me how you were succeeding in getting subscribers - Think it cannot help bring answers. Weather here quite cold + rather unpleasant for the last week - Give my fondest regards to all Hoping you will have a pleasant trip to Boston. Your affec. Son, Ralph Emery
