Grand Rapids, Oct 7 ’90

 

My Dear Lizzie, as I have more time than anything else I thought I would write a little to let you know I am still alive and hope you are as well.  How did you get home Friday night?  I presume it was nearer Saturday morning if you went with John.  I was in bed at eleven o’clock.  I went to North Park Sunday.  There was two Balloon Asceusious, a lady and a Gentleman.  There was an awful crowd there.  I thought I would never get home unless I walked.  But I crowded myself into a car after a while.  The Dancing ran until two o’clock the next morning to bring to bring the crowd all down.

 

I saw Minnie McXxxxx and her sister up to the park.  How is Mary and the rest of the folks after the fair.  I suppose you will begin school next week.  It looks as though I needed to by this writing.  My hands are so stiff I can’t hold a pen.

 

Well Lizzie, I guess I will close for want of more to say.  G.B.

 

Very Truly Yours

Lester Mills.
