Dear May,

Your letter came a few days ago and I was very glad to hear from you. But, sorry that your letter wasn't a bit longer.

I saw your friend the other Sunday night at Church She told me that she received a letter from you, we had a long talk about you. I guess you are tired of being in School so long aren't you well I'll be glad when I can leave this place, as I am tired of this Social life and long to be away in the Country or some other place

We lost out last home game last night but we have got to play then in
