Here is the contents:

Mr. Felix Motlow
Dear Felix:
Yours of the 4th, inst. recd. Was glad to know you got started in at school all ok. Find enclosed check for five dollars ($5.00), a little more than you asked for, but I guess you can find a use for it. Don't pay anything to get this check cashed. It is as good as the money. I would send a bill but check is the safest.
Well I have got straightened out again from my trip home and am feeling all right again. I found everything in good shape when I got back.
No Feak, I didn't get hurt at you not getting to speak to me the evening I left. I would have waited until you came to the house, but had barely time to catch the train in Tullahoma.
Feak, I would advise you to study hard, but I know it is no use. If you only do as well as you did last term, you will be perfect. We are really proud of your work in school and only hope we may send you through the same course that Tom has gone.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
I remain your brother,
JB Motlow

They bottled "our" whiskey in Clermont, Kentucky  

Maybe Mike or someone else knows the story behind??

I think it has something to do with the prohibition, or maybe the fire??

Looking forward to "your" answers.

It is thought that the actual distillery was located 1215-1225 Avenue B (which is now known as 2nd Avenue South), where the current "University Park Business Center" sits.
