LIGHT STREET, PA., March 1, 1908.
DEAR FRIEND:--I received your most welcome letter some time ago but sorry I did not get to answer it. I am well and having the best of board and lodging so I guess I can't complain. I am getting along very good in my school. I have taken up the eighth grade this year and will be ready to take the final examination for high school course in a few weeks. We are having a very stormy day and likely we will have a late spring.
I have a very good teacher. We are working difficult problems and we have to hand in five problems every morning so it doesn't give me much time to sleep, but I do not regret it. The little boy that came with me works up the river about six miles and I was up to see one Sunday afternoon and he told me he would pay me a visit but he never came.
The farmers are scouring up their plows and getting ready for business.
Well, give my best regards to my cousin, Miss Decora, and write again. I will now come to a close with regards.
I remain your devoted friend.
