Berlin, Mich., May 8 1897 Dear Lizzie,
Yours before me for a reply this time sure. Though it may be that I have not done very much visiting this spring. 8th grade, examinations above have kept me busy night and day. I start out tomorrow. There I can fit in three weeks before the May Examinations. I look over the MSV myself. It will seem good when I can have some time that is my own again. A relief to them about it. Yet I will be busy until my term ends. Don’t try to come up until after July 1. I have so much to do that you might have to entertain yourself if you come before then. I am black as a negress. One of my girls leaves me this week Saturday. I don’t know how I am going to get along with but one. They have the house cleaning done. Well then comes a caller. Nothing new.
With love, Dode
