1908?


Dearest parents; -


Cousin Ed was over at Brooklyn yesterday and brot me over Mama’s letter written a week ago today. It sure was a clever one. I read it to Ella and it amused her immensely. I had written them but I guess they had not read my letter.


Yesterday Ella and


I went up to a couple of the girls’ house - Thersa’s and Louise’s We played bridge to practice for the club which is to meet there this P.M. I don’t know whether we will go or not as Cousin Ed, Minnie, Ella & Jane going for a drive this A.M. at his suggestion. He is taking part of his vacation now.


Last night Helen Sharp, Frank’s former beloved, and a couple


of fellows were here. Helen and her three admirers (Frank for the 3rd) almost killed the rest of us, it was so funny. Will tell ab’t it later.


I am crazy, daddy, over the idea of you and mother seeing the Pacific Coast this summer. I am so glad Mr. Kinsman inspired you to go!


[L...ia’s?] remarks were clever -


Larry, the dog, is sick. He, like most dogs, has been indulging in those things which he should not, and consequently has had to have a good no. of baths, causing his present state of illness.


Lovingly,
Margaret.
