“Absolutely fireproof bath house in hotel”

That’s it, I’m sold, let’s go! Best envelope ever. I guess bathhouse fires were a concern in 1915?

Also, the list of diseases cured is incredible.

This letter was sent to Albert J. in February 1915. How could we not post such incredible stationary? And in fact, we’ve just learned The Elms of Excelsior Springs, Missouri still exists as a hotel.

The handwriting in the actual is difficult to decipher and we’re debating between it being from Faun Olepsky (John’s vote) or Frank Stupky (my vote.)

In 1915 Albert J. was a student of agriculture at Kansas State, but it’s not clear if this letter which refers to topsoil and seed experiments is part of educational communications or work for the seed company.
