Primary tabs
I received your very welcome letter last week and of course was very glad to hear
from one of my old friends and glad to hear that you were coming back to school
next term I was afraid that you were not coming back any more. I dont know just
who are all C's. I guess most of them that were in the D. class last term
I know that I am not I like Algebra quite well we have got to
division "Miss Bruce" has so much fault to find with everything that there is'nt
much fun in it we have quite a large D. class we have lots of fun in club I have
been President for the last three weeks I didnt like that at all I guess you
would have laughed at me sitting up there in the chair by the "side of Foster" his face was so red you could
have struck a match on it I
presume I blushed a little. Mr Holmes looks very sad
what do you suppose makes him? there was a reception at Mr Campbells
last Friday evening It was the first one that I ever went to we had a very good
time. I dont have to go over to school afternoon's only twicehree times in the week so I can get my lessons in the
afternoon it makes it nice because my eyes have been bothering me ever since
school began. I just read over your letter you asked if Carrie F. was at school
she came and went the first three week and then stopped I guess she
got discouraged. Mr Campbell went up and talked with her so she has come back
I can imagine you teaching school wouldn't I have some fun if I could come and
visit your school? I have not got very well acquainted
with Miss Griswold so dont know what to think of her, she is funny I think she
takes geometry, English, and Drawing I shall hope to see you at
[Miss Livermores] lecture but not any young man that is against my rules for what would "David" say there is a band concert week from Friday
night I dont know whether I shall go or not. We had very sad news
the other day that Grandpa Leland was [ ]
dead I think you remember him he was here last summer it was very sudden to
us I guess I have written enough "trash" I dont
believe you can read it I cant hardly
Your old "chum"Lucy.
