Dear May,

You must be enjoying your self these hot days? It is hot down my way. You see I am staying out side most the time carrying the mail.

Many were attending the summer school first six weeks. Not many are attending the last six. In two weeks summer school will close.

I have heard from many of the students this summer, Have you?

Miss Whiting is still here as ever, also several of the other teachers.

I must stop writing because it is time for me to take the 4 clo o'clock mail out.

I am coming to Philadelphia to Philadelphia in September to see the World Exposition for once.

Don't forget to write

Yours as ever,
George A. Owens
