Muskegon, March 17, 1890

 

Sister Lizzie; -

 

I received your letter and was pleased to hear from you.

 

Well, we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day here but it was very quiet.  One week from next Monday, I will be home if nothing happens.  I am in Actual Business and I will have to get there if I get through this set so I guess it will take all this week and next.

 

Why don’t Mary Ann write for I will want to pay my tuition before I leave.  I told all about it in my last letter so there is no use of making mention of it here.

 

Your Brother,

Mart
