Muskegon, June 4 1892

Miss Lizzie Golden,

Coopersville

 

 

My Dear Friend, I will write a little this evening to let you know I am still kicking but if this weather keeps on like this it is hard telling how long any of us will kick.  Isn’t it a fright!

 

Well, how did you spend Decoration Day?  I didn’t get your letter until Saturday and I expected my folks here Monday so couldn’t see you.  I am very sorry I can’t see you oftener but to tell the truth, I hate to come home any more.  Not but what I think just as much of my folks and friends.  There as I ever did but it is different.  My Father and Mother and Jimmie was here Monday and had a pretty good time.  There was an awful crowd in town but it was a pretty bad day.  My mother wasn’t feeling very well.  She looks awful bad too.

 

I promised to come home in two or three weeks.  My roommate is coming with me.  I guess I haven’t seen anything of that picture yet you were going to send.  I have been looking for it every day this week.  I have moved down town to board again.  Now we have got an elegant place in the block on Western Ave right in town.  We have three rooms so we are quite comfortable.  You can direct your next to the Heights, just the same, and I can get it when I go to work.

 

Well, I guess I will say Good by for this time as I am out of talking material.  Write soon.

 

I am still your affectionate Friend,

Lester Mills
