The letter is written on Detroit Stove Works letterhead, which features a lithograph, credited to the Calvert Lithograph Company, depicting the Detroit Stove Works offices in Detroit and Chicago as well as the company's foundry in Hamtramck, Michigan. The letter reads: My dear Father, It is fearfully warm Today. I have just come up to the works where I can get a good cool breeze [----] + get cooled off - as where the works are situated is one of the coolest places in the City. There is nothing new to write about, everything is going along well. Understand they are to have the Election in Ward Two over again, undoubtedly it will be very exciting. Received an invitation from Edith Crowninshield to her Class day exercises - wrote her a long note in reply - Suppose you are having delightfully cool weather in Belfast + enjoying Green Peas + Salmon. By the way what are Salmon worth + are they to be cheap this season - have you been out to the pond or to [Turtle?] Head this year. Sent you a paper a few days ago containing some interesting shipping charts of the Lake Fleet which I thought might interest you - you will see some of the vessels they have on the Lakes are very large. Hope you are well + that I shall hear from you soon, [-----]. Your affec. son, Ralph
