My dear Seneca,
It is sunday evening
again and I have no letter ready to send.
I would first love to know how you are to-
night. There are so many around sick
with colds and grippe but I do hope you
are well. Pleas do not sit up late nights
or get up so early mornings to study.
Remember it will wear on you if you
do not feel it now. I went with Papa to
the Grange oyster supper last Thurs night.
Mrs. Gray told me that Frank Johnson
told her he was afraid Seneca would do
himself out. Thought you worked to
hard. Now listen to your mothers warnings
and be careful. Well I went to church
this morning. The roads were horribly rough.
Did not think it a very good time for
me but they all wanted me to go. All
but Elmer went. He has not been feeling
very well for a few days. Feels better today
not so very merry but- Church meeting
this week fri Pm. Alex and Merta came
home with us. She went home with a
cold and was not coming back to-
night. Wilson and Truman have gone
Union Meeting at our church tonight.
Expect they will be late home tonight.
Glad you went to Troy last week. Had
a nice time I presume.
How has that fiddle come on. Hope its
owner will be a pleasant room mate
for you and is your board still good?
We do not want you today where there
is not good substantial food for
you even if it be cheeper. Have you
missed your gloves. I will mend them
and send to you. I found them in
the desk drawer. Dr. Callahan and wife
have left town. Gone to Monroe Ash-
tabula Co. Reported that Dr. S has
bought him out but it is said by
some not. It would be a nice place for
him to sell his gray ain’t he a beauty
he looks so sheepish. hardly looks up
by the way. What is your fiddler’s name?
Well, guess I will have to go to bed. I am
getting nerves. Good night
Monday morning
Dear Seneca,
Mamma thought she had not
time to write. Who is your parman?

a new girl last night. C. G. girl
