My dear little girl,---

 

I was so afraid you would not get my letter in time last week.  Dr. Shimmel came over Saturday morning to see if I would not put school off another week.  So I wrote you at once and he mailed it for me.

 

There are quite a good many things I want you to get for us in your school.  So I would like to have you come back next week anyway.  If you come and want to come Sunday night, I will go to the Mansion Sunday night.  Write me.

 

When I see you I can tell you what I want better than I can write.  You must see about school too.  Come Sunday night, if you possibly can.  I wish Mary would come too.

 

             From Your Friend,

                          Cora

Dear Lizzie,

 

Yours received yesterday.  Was so glad to get it Lizzie.  I did not intend to say anything to hurt you dear.  No I did not.  You know I would not.  What I want now is You to come to our social tomorrow night.  If you can’t do any other way, come on the 9:20 train.  Stay all night with me and go back the next day.  Come Lizzie if you possible can.  I want to see you so much.  Wont you.

 

I am writing this in a hurry.  Tell Martin I can not get him a dictionary enough cheaper to pay.  He can get one with out the “Index” for $10. And that is about the best any can do.  Tell him also that Cleveland is elected so he can come to our social.

 

I m not done hoping to see you tomorrow night.  With Love

                                                                                     Cora
