Dear Friend:
line
5
I hope you will excuse
line
6
me this evening for writing
line
7
before my time, but I feel
line
8
quite lonesome and not
line
9
very sleepy this evening, so
line
10
I thought I would make an
line
11
attempt to answer your
line
12
ever welcome letter which
line
13
was recd. this morning

I was very pleased to hear
line
1
from you once more and
line
2
to learn of your good times
line

I would have liked the best
line

kind to have been there and
line

participated in your basket

feast; neverless seeing you
line
7
caught somebody with whom
line
8
you could have a good time
line
9
I think that is all that was
line
10
necessary. I must say you
line
11
girls were very patriotic; and
line
12
adventuresome to bolt out
line
13
on such a bo d. enterprise,
line
14
still I believe you must of
line
15
had some incouragement
line
16
from the boys, either, directly,
line
17
or indirectly, or else you
line
18
must of had considerable

confidence in their good

qualities.
line

You ask me if I
line
3
would stop at Provo if I
line
4
left before school closed here.
line
5
To be sure I will, providing
line
6
you are there, but If you
line
7
are gone Provo will not have
line
8
many charms for me.
line
9
We have not decided yet
line
10
when we will quit school
line
11
or whether we will stop
line
12
before school closes. There
line
13
is a letter in the office
Page 3 line 14
for Arthur from home
line 15
when he gets it we will perhaps
line 16
know
line 17
I am on the program-
line 18
me for the last literary

meeting which will be held

on Monday evening May, 28,
line 2
I have tried to beg off but
line 3
they seem to want to hold
line 4
me to it.
line 5
My writing so much
line 6
sooner will excuse me from
line 7
writing very much, so wishing
line 8
you good night and happy

dreams, I will conclude.

As every your loving friend
