Letter From Son Haunts North Chicago Man For Years
Chicago June 26 mid June twenty seven years ago Abraham Littlejohn stood at the general store waiting for a letter from his son John. He returned daily, older and slower as years passed with changes in town. At last the old man died in bed, still waiting, as trains roared and autos crowded the road. The tale follows a life stretched by time and longing, ending with a quiet death.
