Dear Agnes:
l been a wilder for nearly two weeks and
say-ain't it awful? Too much sleep and not
enough eats. When Jim gets home he can
scatter ashes and tobacco all over the house
and put his feet any place he pieases.
Well, | got to thnkin' about Mayme today
SO 1 went down to her house. There must
he something in that mental telepathy stuff
cause Mayme was thinkin of me and had
wrote me a letter only l didn't get it on account
was Just dyin' for letter from Jim.
Well, Mayme was glad to see me and was
glad to see her on account of its been three
weeks since / saw her.
Me and Mayme went downtown to shop.
Amt the things grand this spring, Agnes?
got hair net and new kind of curriers'. Them
electric curriers' is awful hard on the hair,
Agnes. Mayme she got some curriers' too and
some thread. When Mayme asked to stay
to supper l didn't hang back none you bet be-
cause I've about come to the conclusion that
toast amt fit food for humans Doc Brady
Notwithstanding.
On the way back me and Wayne stopped
at the grocery and carried home our armsful
Say Agnes l sure fed up-potatoes mashed
at that, and tender loin, and the lovliest little
green onions I'll bet Mayme thought l hadn't
even had toast this morning
| Mayme's girl is fourteen now and say, Agnes
I'll tell the world Mayme amt raisin her up
to be one of them no account fappers She
helped get supper without crabbin' and
talked to me like 1 real human being
and she didn't do complainin' on stayin'
home with her little sister while me and Wayne
went out to a show
, Well, Agnes, me and Mayme didn't like no
shows that billed in Rock Island and so
we decided to be real sports and go to the
Capitol. Well, me and Mayme goes dutch and
when handed the girl wrinkled old dollar
bill she shoTes cut a crisp new and so
cents in change. Me, l says, is that mine !?
And then Mayme stepped on my foot and 1
come to myself When me and Wayne got
inside we had good laugh and 1 promised
Wayne an ice cream soda.
l just love the Capitol 1t makes me feel
! so rich and careless like and l lust adore the
pipe organ, but I'd rather he played it all on
one side, because when the picture is on it
makes too many things to take my attention.
! He played 1t mostly on one side last night and
| it was a good thing he did too on account of
me and Mayme both havin to chew gum awful
hard because of all them little green onions
! we had for supper. The picture was just per
| fectly wonderful and I told Wayne the only
thing that spoiled perfectly beautiful evening
was the way them onions kept taIkin' hack to
me- Mayme said hers did too
| Well, when got off the bridge line car
III front OF Fort Armstrong there was Mayme's
husband standin' out in front like a woodin'
Indian and he looked surprised ON account OF
Wayne telling him we was goin' there WelI
looked up just then and nv car was comin;
and l run for it without thinkin' about Mavme,s
ice cream soda promised her
Well l guess l must close Agnes I'm
gettin' sleepy on account of all them LITTLE
green onions, l guess. Love,
