March 2nd Dear Brother John: are you quite well we are all pretty well here. I am attending the high school I like it very
well Mary and myself stay up stairs most of the time where Miss Brigs teaches I like her firstrate we recite all of our lessons
to Miss Brigs with the exception of our grammer lesson we go down to Mr Magoffin to recite that. the Saturday before last
was George Washingtons birthday and there was a celebration among the schools we all gathered at the school house as usual
in the morning at about 9 oclock and Mr Carswell lent us eighteen little flags well after all
