January 22, 1913 - How's the cold?

The letters from Joe to Helen started today in 1913. I will always have the writing typed out for ease of reading, below the letter. If you are so inclined you can read Joe's handwriting.

I have just finished arguing my first case in the Supreme Court of Errors (the highest court in our state) and am bound for home. I had to drop off here on a minor business trip and had a moment to drop you a line.

Helen's family lived at The Rockfall on 111th Street in New York City - Below is a photograph of the building today - it most likely looked the same then.
