Dear Friend, I will now try to answer your last week’s letter.  I thought there was no use of writing before as you wouldn’t get it till you got home Friday night.  How is your school progressing?  I suppose you are just as home sick as ever.  I get kind of lonesome myself once in a while.  This weather is enough to make a dog hate his mother.  It has been cold and rainy here most all the week.  I wish it would get warm and stay so a day or two.

 

Tell Mary I will be much pleased to get one of those pictures you spoke of in your last letter.  You know I am not particular and I think the picture is very natural anyway.  I am keeping a good place in my album for one of yours, which I expect to get very soon now.  I am as hard up for news as you are.  I don’t know what to write.  There is going to be a surprise party here at the boarding house tomorrow night for one of the girls.

 

I am going down town this evening as soon as I get this written.  I was down last night and took in the opera.  I got a letter from my mother today.  She wanted to know if I was coming home memorial day.  I am writing her that I think not.  I suppose there will be a big time here that day.  They are going to dedicate the Solders Monument.  Well, Liz, I can’t think of any more to write this time so I will bid you Good By hoping to hear from you soon.

 

I am aver your dearest friend,

L. W. Mills

 

Don’t forget to send that group picture next week.

Yours,

L. W. M.
