I recieved your kind & welcomed letter, and am ashamed of my-self for not writting but could not find time to, have set a number of days to write, but something would hapen & I could not, and thought I would set up until mid-night I could not get it done before

I have written a letter to Gertie [Whitcome] to night

You did not say any thing about your Comeson and do not know what has become of it. I have thought of that many & many of times and would like some of those

good time's we used to have especially riding on trucks.

Do you remember the time you and Ethel Kinsley were sliding on the hill by Mr Bucker's. I asked Nell [ ] if she had been out sliding, she said "No indeed I have not, do you suppose I would be seen sliding." and I thought if she had always remembered that, and had done no worse she would be thought more off. now you must not tell what I say about her, for she does not like me any better than I do her, I wish Clarence's coat tail would break and let her down would like to see her fall, I thought she and Willie had gone through before this time, if he was not one of the best of boys he would not

have not any thing to do with her (and some of them would not)

Well, I guess I shall have to close for this time, hope you will excuse poor writting and spelling for I am getting sleepy. write soon.

Carrie.

PS. Please tell Peter, I have got that candy [yet].
