General note

This photograph was enclosed in a letter from W. B. Jones to Hazel Phelps Jones, postmarked January 25, 1923. Description on back: Here is the house, and we're going to have one exactly like it!! Hush! Ed Hoffmeister said he would let us have the plans to save an architect's fee. Ain't we got fun? Any reason why we shouldn't be the happiest pair that ever set sail? No? Well den!! Sorry the card was so old that the house doesn't receive justice, but it will convey the meaning, W.
