home all right that night the band played out in the stand but I didn't go over.
I havent got over my teeth ache yet but I am in hopes I shall some time I am
helping papa in the office this afternoon Ned has
gone up to
Morrisville is coming back tonight. Carrie came home last night she said she had
a splendid time I am afraid she will get Peter away from you I am trying to get
him & I guess I shall have you put any pins on
the track since Friday you are probably over there most of the time flirting
with that Fred Smiththere isnt much news to write about.
I havent seen Newcomb since I was down there poor little boy I pity him he misses you so much. There is no use of my fooling I cant
think
of any more to write about so please excuse these few cat
tracks from your friend
