am afraid she might wonder and l.
coult not tell her too much. I think
the other way safer and more indie

fright just now, would not see my
grandmother. After the skin peels
off, and it is beginning to do so now
then it is not SO bad. I think when
YOU come into town you can make a
few inquiries at the garage.
We'll, dear King, my heart Is with
you every minute OF the day, and [
must tell you that I am sad and very
lonely. Oh, I must say, in reference
to what [ wrote you about the lady
I met here, speaking SO highly of me,
as g. woman one does not meet every
day must tell you that [ have
mostly been liked by fine people, The
ones who have tried to tear me TO
pieces are low, dirty girls, like Louise,
Carrie, Olga, &c. So you see, dear,
that was on account Of my friendship
for you and the same for Julia. The
servant girls thought that you Ne
longed to their class, and were jeal-
Gus, and Julia hated me for being
kind to you. They are all dirty, nasty
and low, and Of course don't know
anything but low cunning.
You do not belong to their class,
as have told you before, SO now
think I had better close and get this
mailed. I have said as much as
dare.
Hope YOU feel better and not too
lonely, with love and wishing al GOOD
to you. t. ~
