My dear Lizzie,

 

Found yours on my return home Saturday.  You don’t know how good and how natural it seemed to hear from your.  I may see you this week.  Have planned to do so anyway.  I visited Cossa Friday AM.  She told me of your headaches and poor health.

 

The old days come back to me.  They were happy days and I have wished for them a good many times.  Flora and Jane both know how much I care for you.  They do not mention your name to me.  I wish you taught near here or that I lived near you.  I think of you every day and a good many times in a day.  I visited May Dimmock some time ago.  I have four schools left in Polkton and four in Crockery to visit.  One in Wright and two in Tallmadge and twenty-three on the south side.  So you can see I have been busy and such roads as I have had.  I have no more time thus xxx will close with love.

 

Your Dode
