Address to JEK Studd Esq, Polytechnic, Regent St, London W, England' and postmarked Forest Lake Minn, 21 Aug 1917 with a two cent stamp. The message reads 'Dear Mr Studd, I'm sorry to trouble you, but they sent me a 'Poly Mag' for July instead of August! Hope all is well with you and that the new 'Poly' is a thing of beauty as well as a joy forever. All is well with us & our praise is to his Name & Glory. Yours in haste, GF [Gilruth Finley]
