Dear Friend,- As an opertunity has presented its- self I will take the time to write you. Yours of the 10^ns^- was just reed, to day and I can asure you it did surpri -se me not a little for I had entirely given up the Idea that you would ever write again, so you see I have abused you wrongfully for which I am very sorry. I guess you have been looking for an answer to your last letter some time or perhaps you would rather that
I never would write any more
I am working for the company here now do not know how long I will stay down here. I hope these few lines find you well and in better spirits than when you wrote last you must

go to all the parties and just have a good time for after

while you will be like all the

rest of us, will get old. There is

not much news down here such

as there is I dont gues you

would want to hear. So I

will conclude for to night,

hoping these few lines find

all well and happy. I remain

as ever your Loving Friend.

John M. Bunker

P. S. Write soon and

please excuse this scribling

Untill I Graduate. J M B
