Mailed from Sacramento, California to Mr. J.B. Hosmon of Oroville, California on September 7, 1934:
Dear J.B. –
Sorry you can’t come this week end to bet, I didn’t now whether you were serious about trusting me to place your bets and being very honest I didn’t know which bank to rob.
Amorett & I are going to the horse show tonite – F.B.
