Carrollton, O.
March 11, 1908.

Dear Friend.

    Beg parden, but I think you are mistaken about the letter. the last one I got was dated Feb 11, but no diff.
    I havent heard anything about the party since you went away. Hope you had a good time while you was gone.
    Otto Morehead and I was at a pie social last Saturday night between Kilgore and Harlem, came home Sun evening through the rain.
    Will it suit for me to call Saturday evening the 14? that will be next Saturday evening. will see you at the pie social, if it isent raining. Sherman and I are going to play for them.
    We intended to have Literary at our school, but Oliver Long is Director and he dont want us to have it. (The old crank) We are going to try and talk Hazel up and have it in spite of him.
    Well I am writing this at 10 o'clock P.M. and am getting sleepy, so I will close hoping the date will be satisfactory.

Your Friend.

The garden gate has ceased of late,
To carry it's load of care.
And a double weight is now the fate,
Of many a rocking chair.
So dont set on the rocking chair.

Look for goodness look for gladness,
You will meet them all the while,
If you bring a smileing vasage
To the glass you meet a smile.

The cowslip loves the lea,
The scarlet creeper loves the elm,
