not know, but I think you did. We got your letter yesterday, I was eating hickory nuts when Merrill came in saying Mama has
a letter from Mr Muir . I go to school and my teachers name is Miss King. One day she said I will have to look out of the
window at you because some you behave so bad. To day is vacation only school begins Monday again She said maby she would leave
school but she did not, she went to Ohio, and she got back a little while ago. Are you all well? good bye yours truly C. W.
