Dear Friend Liz, I guess you will think I have forgotten to write but there has been no news and I have been putting it off so I thought I would write to night to let you know I am still alive.  I was home from last Thursday night to Monday morning.  Monday was Labor day.  There was an awfully large crowd in town.  I went out to the lake in the afternoon.  They had games of all kinds out there.  I guess you will think I am doing lots of bumming lately.  I didn’t enjoy it much though.  There was such a crowd I wished I had stayed and worked.  I went to Redmond’s Opera last night.  They had a dandy play. (Beacon Lights).  I wish you had been here to go too.

 

I hear there is going to be a dance at the Commercial tomorrow evening.  I suppose you will be there.  I would like to very much but can’t make it.  I don’t think I will go home again for two or three weeks.

 

Well Lizzie, I don’t think of anymore so I will say Good By,

As Ever, Let
