Transcription

I expected to leave here Fri. Feb. 15th but they want me to stay another week so I probably will. I finished trimming trees today and played tennis this afternoon. We are having nice weather now after quite a lot of rain. Framena has had a bad cold, but about over it now. A neighbor is here calling tonight. I received your letter today and glad you are getting along alright. This city is crowded at present. Tomorrow we may go to Sarasota for the day 50 miles from here. Alice and I called on Alton [?] and Eric has a lame arm but we had some music. Grace.
