Dear people:-
It is so hard for me to have to write to you on Wednesday, because getting ready for Thursday is the hardest work of the week. So I only have time for a note to say we are all well. We have been having the wildest times here about the election. I was up till 12 last night and was up early this morning. But it will have to wait until another letter.
What a shock Aunt Anna's death is. She seems so young and I had no idea she was so ill. It make one feel that she must be awfully careful. I don't realise it at all. I am so glad Ellen is right again. Dear thing. She wrote asking Cora and me to a dance or party after the game but Boo hoo, Boo hoo. We can't go. Can you tell me what train I can get home if I don't get into New York until after 6. As soon as possible please. I have a class until 2-45. And think I cant get a train from Pough. until after 3 and don't reach New York until after 6. Perhaps if it got me home very late I could make some arrangement here.
What do you do if you have a picture framed and pay for It. And about 3 weeks after a bill is sent in for it. You have nothing to show for having payed for It. That Is my present predicament.
Dont bother about my back. It is perfectly well. I only caught cold in it. That was all. Thanks for the information about barn. I took the kitchen instead and an not enjoying it. I find English hard. I am safely thro, the six weeks tests and flunked none. So I don't have to take a tutor yet. Ok Miss Richardson got mad the other day fe dismissed the class. She refused to hear such a recitation. It was more fun.
Ruth.
