Letter to R.A.C. from relative in California 1906

Letter to R.A.C. from a relative in San Jose, CA. Rhoda and this relative shared the same Grandmother Field of Northfield. Childhood memories - for the first time saw railroad cars, dug apples & potatoes from sandpit where they had been buried all winter, took the Munn's Ferry (Northfield Farms)across the Ct. River. Asked for information on the Field family. Glad to hear Rhoda in losing weight as the writer of letter had lost 25 lbs and is now under 200 lbs.
