These two pages are shown together because they were photographed one after the other. That pairing hasn’t been confirmed.

Two school photos are on this letter. Neither has been confirmed as Robert, so both are under “Help identify these faces.”

Some words are cut off or covered in this photograph. A clearer scan will be added.

Spelling is kept exactly as written. [possibly: …] means a reading we aren’t sure of. Tap a photo to enlarge it.
