Dear parents; -

thinks not, she likes his pupils. However I think Miss Chittenden’s pupils [crossed out: played] performed the best. The violinists [played?]; they are [Damrents?] pupils. Grace played by dar the best, if I do say so. She got lots of compliments.

He thinks the city people should tend to those matters. I think he’s right. The college isn’t even within the city limits.

Grace wants me to add that her bills are larger than usual because of shoes etc.

Wms p’k’g came o.k. and the [apples?] were welcome as well as the handkerchief.

is doing library work in Columbia. She said she remembered you, Momie.

Ella didn’t say anything ab’t Allan’s [...eatr...il?] of myself in Lyc. to Grace.
Lovingly,
Margaret.
