My Dear Friend:-
line 4
It has been several days
line 5
since I received your much
line 6
appreciated letter. How glad
line 7
I was to hear from you!
line 8
I always am delighted to
line 9
receive letters from old friends.
line 10
Was very sorry that you
line 11
are having such a time
line 12
with your eyes. Hope they
line 13
are improved by this time.
line 14
My school closed Mar, 22n .
line 15
1 believe the same day as
Page 2 line 1
yours. We had a general cry
line 2
on the last day of school.
line 3
I did hate so much to leave
line 4
the children for I learned to love
line 5
them all. Didn’t know
line 6
that I would ever see them
line 7
again.
line 8
Yes Mr. C and I
line 9
have "quit." Stopped corres-
Page 2 line 10
ponding last New Years or
line 11
shortly afterward. I believe
line 12
he is going on a mission
line 13
to the S. States in June. Do
line 14
not expect to see him before
line 15
he goes. It is almost a fact
line 16
that I'll have to buy the
line 17
baby shoes for you. I'm
line 18
afraid your children will
line 19
Page 3
wear many a pair out
line 1
ear I think of matrimony.
line 2
By the way is Mr. B
line 3
in Panaca, or does he just
line 4
call occasionally? I am
line 5
acquainted with three of
line 6
his sisters who live at
line 7
Panguitch. If all the
line 8
family are as nice as they,
line 9
you will do fine to stay
line 10
by him. I think you and
line 11
he make an excellent pair.
line 12
We are going to
line 13
have a character ball this
line 14
week. I am to be a
line 15
flower garden fairy. We
line 16
expect a grand time.
line 17
I hardly think I
page 3 line 18
shall go to school next
line 19
Page 4
winter. Do you intend
line 1
to go? A school of two
line 2
most likely.
line 3
I hope your sister’s
line 4
baby gets along nicely.
line 5
I shall hope to see
line 6
you at the Summer
line 7
School at Beaver not
line 8
very far in the future.
line 9
Yes, I kept a photo for
line 10
you but neglected sending
line 11
it before. By some accident
line 12
I find it has a scratch on
line 13
the neck; am very sorry.
line 14
Write often to your true friend
line 15
Laura.
