Dear Friend Kate

I hope you will excuse pencil but it is more convenient just now I received you[sic] very welcome letter Wednesday and of course was very glad to hear from you. I am so glad that it is Friday night I dont know what to do with myself hardly. I am in -------------------------------- Page 2 --------------------------------the office waiting for mail train which is three hours late I dont think my letter can go tonight but I can write it just the same because I have time Mrs Livermore's lecture is a week from tonight I dont care much for going I dont like her very well I didnt last winter but perhaps I didnt pay attention I guess I was doing something else. I told you before when I wrote that I liked Algebra I do like some parts of it but I dont like Simple Equations I dont -------------------------------- Page 3 --------------------------------understand them at all but am in hopes to I like Geometry very much this term. school is going to keep week from tomorrow It will seem strange to go to school Saturday. I dont think of any more news to write this time and I guess I have written enough trash for this time I shall expect a letter from you this next week "I dont think you are a very good hand to answer letters" over

An old chum


Lucy

the water has been very high and your William C. Doane was frightened most to death he thought he was going to float off.
