Dear Friend;
School is just out so now I will write you a few lines.
I was unexpectedly pleased to receive another letter from you so sooni

I suppose if you do come before school closes, you will leave about the day after I do. However, I hope it will not happen that way.
I do not know yet, exactly, when we will be through with our regular exercises but it will not be later than Tuesday of the last week as Wednesday is Field day.
I heard forom Aggie the other
