Cherries on sale for Washington's birthday

Happy Valentine's Day! At this point, this has become a Clarence Darrow fanpage, so we wanted to feature our collection of Darrow's letters, which includes many love letters to his second wife, Ruby. Transcribing Darrow's handwriting is notoriously difficult, but the first letter here might be Darrow at his most legible. See if you can decipher his letter (transcription below) and check out the last two images if you want more of a challenge.

Maybe this is a sign to dust off your cursive and write a note to someone you love!
