Dear Sister Lizzie,

Well Liz as I have a few leasure hours, I will rite a few lines to you hoping to find you well as they leave me. I hope you like your school. How often do you go home? I heard Mary Malone was with you. If she is, this letter is as much hers as yours. I would have written you before but I had so many to rite and I knew you seen all the other letters that I rote so I would have to rite the same to you. Kate rote you the next week after we got here and has not received an answer. Annie wants you to rite to her but if you don’t get around any faster you wont rite this winter but now without any fooling you rite her next week without fail. She is just splendid girl.

We are going to have some pictures taken, a group, us four girls and three boys. They are all crazy to hear from you and Mary because the girls is all the time telling about you. I sent to Jennie stores and got those Canada 5 cts engraved for Edd & Will’s watch chain. On one side of Edd is your name, on the other is Mary. On Will’s is my name. On the other side is Willies Goldens. They are very much pleased. I am going to have a ten ct fixed here for Frankie. I am going to have Nora’s & Sadies name on his. I believe he is the best looking boy I ever seen. He is affle good natured but as far as godness and kindnes is conserned to me they are all in it. You know how the girls were. The rest are just like them.

I was to party last Friday eve. They are going to have a dance here this Friday. I have had a lovely time here. I seen lots of my relation last Saturday & Sunday down on Punkin Hollow. The names here would kill you. I am going to bring home some of the stones out of Grandpa Hughes seller when I come home for a relic. Kate has ben quite sick this week with a cold. I and her is at home. Sarah is in Syracuse. When you rite, direct to Syracuse, 314 Gifford St., New York. My head aches like the devil. I rote home to day too. Sent it in Sadies name. I hope they will answer it quicker than the others I have sent. We are al going to Syracuse next week. I was there part of last week. I like the place well so far.

Well Liz dear sister, I don’t know what else to rite you. Sarah’s fellow was here and we played dominoes until ten and now it just struck twelve. I don’t know hardly where to send this letter. Berlin or Dennison. But I believe you come home every Friday night so I will chance it to Dennison. If you are in Berlin, they will send it on the mail in morning so you will get it Saturday. They all send their love to you. No more for this time. Rite soon, from your

Loving Sister Kate

Rite soon, rite to Annie. Send her letters to Howlett.

Good by, good by, love to all my sister
