My dear Gertrude,
I have just received from the American Express Co. the enclosed post card. It seems that the American Express Co. at their Seattle address and arrange with them for its delivery to Miss Dodson. I am sure I do not know why they sent it to Seattle instead of sending it to New York, but perhaps it was for the reason that they were collecting their charges from you and that on account of your residence it would be easier to make the collection in Seattle than in their New York office.
With much love,
Yours as ever,
John
