My Dear May,

Your letter was recived and I was very glad to hear from you, and glad to hear that you are well and enjoying life. I was down to the dance monday night and saw your friend who lives on West Scott place, she told me that she was going to tell you she saw me

I have managed to arrange a game between my team and Plainfield for the last game of the Season 24 of this month. I had some photos taken and they are nice I havent received them yet only a proof and they are farily good if I do have to say so my self.

(page 2)

Well I dont guess I'll write much as you has too much to look up and write for your exams and a very long letter will take up considerate time. Why should you ask me for my consent to stay for the summer little girl if I thought you meant it I would give my consent but as I know you didn't mean it I wont say any more about it.

I took notice dear there were one question on my other letter which you never mention was it that you was too busy, or did you over look it? I am staying home Easter if I did, although I hope you have a good time, and wish your School Success in the game but rember Union is my School and your team can't win

I remain a friend,
William
