Dear Miss Yancey

Just dropping you a line or so while I have the time. It seems as though I am always busy; and have not the time to write. Of course that excuse is wearing out. I will have to get another one.

We arrived home safely from Plainfield

but early in the morning I guess it was about 3:30 or 4.00 o'clock Mon. morning. We got a little confused in t Trenton. When we found ourselves we were back into Princeton, We then had to cover the same ground back to Trenton, and then to Phila. I did not feel tired until Tuesday after noon.

I received a letter from

my Aunt to day. She stated that the girls were still talking about the happenings that went on that Sunday, I must say that I really enjoyed myself. I know you did, I wished that I could have stayed, and escorted you to church, Maybe I would have been interfering Ha! Ha!

I was to go to a picnic to day, and it has rained all day. I hear that the Plainfield folks are having a picnic next Thursday, I hope that you have good weather, I guess I had better close, because I might want to save something for the next letter. There is no need for me to say, writing soon, because all girls are from Pl in answering letters,

Sincerely,
Maris P. Wesley
