Handwritten letter dated April 14, 1916, from Fred in Sabinal, Texas to his mother, announcing the birth of a new baby boy named Stephen.

He also thanks her for a check enclosed in her previous letter, acknowledges receiving The Graphic Magazine, and sends two postcards of the children. The letter closes with notes about recent rainfall and the oats crop “looking pretty well now.”
A warm and personal piece of early 20th-century family correspondence from rural Texas, touching on domestic life, new parenthood, and farm conditions. Ideal for collectors of WWI-era Americana, Texas history, or family letters.
