Coopersville, Mar 10, 86

 

Dear Lizzie

 

I received your most welcomed letter and will now endeavor to answer it.  It is a very nice day but it is muddy.  We have three new scholars.  Their names are Flora Jones, Fred Marshel and Bennie some body.  I don’t know who.  We expect to go up stairs in a little while.  I thought you said you would come up here when your school was out.  Can’t you come here next Friday.  I shall expect you.  You ask your mamma if you can’t come and stay four or five days with us.

 

Hattie is talking to me all the time and I can’t write any more so she will have to finish it.

 

Good bye form Mary

Dear Friend Lizzie

 

Mary said I had got to finish this letter because I was talking to her so much that she could not write.  When the roads get better I hope that all of us girls can come out there again and see you.  If you don’t come out here pretty soon I will get mad at you.  It is pretty near time for my Arithmetic class so I will have to close with a kiss from all of us girl.  Good bye.  Write soon to both of us.  From Hattie Max.

 

P.S. Don’t forget the straw stack
