Dear Friend Lizzie & Mary,

 

I thought I would improve a few moments in writing to you.  Well Lizzie, I got home all right.  We have Sunday School up here and I went last Sunday.  Our school has not begun yet.  I wish it would.  Nora stayed down to Ms. Spoors this afternoon.  Mrs. Spoors had a little girl baby last night.  Nora & I got Ma a new light apron and Ada & Cora a mug.  I suppose Sady goes to school every day don’t she.  Nora say she sends her love to you all.  This paper that I am writing on is some I got Christmas.  Girls my thinkers have left me to night so I will have to close saying good bye now.

 

Answer Quick, From Mary

 

Kiss Sady and Nora for me and keep one yourselves.
