Autographed portrait postcard from J.A. Redfield to Mr. A.A. Sherman
Written on verso: Dear Albert: I rec'd your photo yesterday and was glad to get it. It is real good, the only bad feature being that you look a little too grouchy. I was once in hopes that I could exchange a cap and gown picture with you, but I am afraid that is something I will never get. I was at the "U" a week ago and saw M. Stone. He isn't working quite as hard as he did when a "Soph." Has changed his course. I am back at the old job again. I will soon be some batchelor. Your old pal, J.A.R.
Written on photo: "The smile that won't come off." Yours truly, J.A. Redfield.
