I have been expecting ofne for along time. I am getting so I can study like sixty feel fine and get along nicely do well and
hope this will find you the the same. I wish your school was out so that I can come down there the folks here are scouring
out my brain rather roughly but all the better I suppose. I wish you would tell me something about where you are what you

Dear John It seems a long time since we had a letter from you, I would like to know how you like to be a teacher I hope you
have a comfortable boarding place, you will not see David very often I understand he likes teaching very well Daniel and Mary
and Anna is attending the High school and like their teachers very well they had to be examined by the superintendent before
they could receive tickets of admission - the school is very full. Joanna attends the intermediate school but don't like her
teacher very well. I cannot say I like to live in Portage. 506
