My dear Lizzie,

 

I guess you would never write to anyone unless you was forced to it, would you?  I have looked for a letter every day since I came home but have looked in vain. 

 

I begin school tomorrow again.  Have had a week’s vacation.  Enough for me.

 

My hands are so lame I can scarcely hold my pen in my hand.  Rheumatism I think.  Did you have any vacation?  And how is school now?  Good as ever?  I see by the Observer that possibly you were quite happy now-a-days.  How long will happiness continue.  Do you play Drug Store anymore?

 

I don’t know whether or not there is any news to write you.  Have not been where I could get any.

 

I suppose Old Santa Clause was good to you as usual.  I will start for school in a few minutes so will close for this time.  Remember me to all your people and write me a good letter.

 

With Love,

Your Cora
