Mr. J. E. Noyes, Sir: ... We are living eight miles from Portland near a town called Lents where rent is not so high as in the city. It is a fine country out here. We are about one and a half miles from where Delano lives. All his boys but one are near him and all doing fine and the girl, Estella, is married and lives in Portland. Now good bye and change my address to Lents, Oregon, R. F. D. No. 1. Yours truly, -- R. S. Hummel."
