It reads as follows:
So who were Carol and Garth Hyatt? The short answer is some fellow newspaper writers.
Garth Browne Hyatt (1888-1931) was on the staff of the Detroit News in 1917, which is probably where he met Cline. He was then married to his first wife, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
He married Carol Rose Willis (1896-1989) on 6 November 1926 in Lake County, Indiana. She had previously been married as well, and had one son.
Around the mid-1920s, Garth became an editorial writer for the Sunday Chicago Herald and Examiner, a post which he held until his death, which occurred when his automobile overturned about ten miles north of Santa Fe in November 1931.
Carol wrote for the Chicago Daily News in the 1920s (as did Cline, who was in Chicago in 1925-26); some of her Daily News articles were collected in Backyard Play (1929), a small book of backyard activities. In the mid-1930s she contributed to Ladies' Home Journal, as Carol Willis Hyatt. In 1937 she married Guy Moffett in New York. As Carol Willis Moffett she published a number of books, including Merchandising Aspects of Packaging (1938), House Cleaning Management and Methods (1940), Shoe Sizing and Fitting: An Analysis of Practices and Trends (1941) More for Your Money (1942), on to Getting Merchandise Ready for Sale: Receiving, Checking, Marking (1969). Around 1975 she married Luther Halsey Gulik III.
