or not. Tell mamma I will be home Saturday night. that I hope grandmas eye is getting better. I guess you Wanda are learning
very fast with Miss Graydon. You must study hard but not too hard then you can read nice books write letters as well as print

mice or flies only a lot of men one lonesome mosquito- in margin: Goodbye dear till tomorrow night Heaven bless you all
