Hootman - Harold improving - Putnam

A.M. Hootman today received a letter from Mrs. Hootman who is in Memphis, Tenn with their son, Harold who has been quite ill of blood poisoning in the right leg and foot and malaria, stating that the condition of the young man was greatly improved and that it would probably be so that they could start for Greencastle by the end of the week.  Harold Hootman has been working in the lumber business with his brother-in-law in Tennessee. - kbz
