Primary tabs
As I had nothing else to do I thought I would write you a few lines to pass away
the time. I havent seen Carrie to speak to her since school closed. Ned was
taken sick last Thursday & went home Friday he was very sick & I
have had to work in the office most of the time I like it pretty well I had
rather do
it than wash dishes though I dont have to wash them this
week we have got a girl to help us & of course I am glad. I havent seen
Newcomb for a long time he probably is so broken hearted that he dont like to go
out I suppose you are having a good time keeping house it is fun especially
washing dishes it is almost train time Carrie has
just come in so I must stop for this time Be sure & answer Your old
friends letter
Lucy
