Susie to Haywood

Sat night

Dear Haywood

Well thought I would try writting again. As I haven't gotten answers for my last two letters. We have been looking for you every Sat. and Sun. for the last month or so. Why haven't you come down?

Abe and I wrode Ginger and Dolly up the Dougs this afternoon but didn't see him as another man came to the door; and said that, "Mr. McKay was very sick and we could not see him. When Abe saw Dad I guess he was real excited for Dad said he said Doug was about dead. and wasn't expected to live. Of course Dad will have to go up to see him in the morning, if he doesn't go hunting. Say! If you don't come down before long you won't get to go hunting with Dad for the season will soon be closed. Dad has got about a dozen and half birds this year.

We had the foot ball game with Kelso Friday and we "Won" It was not a very big score though 3 to 7. We really didn't expect to win because this was so many of the kids first year playing. Every one of the kids are layed out. They celebrated last night. Every one of them was stewed to the "eye-brow" "Swimming in the streets, etc." Dunbar was not around.

I have the tooth-ache "again" tonight and am just about crazy. Believe I'll pull my teeth and get a set of false. "Not."

I am staying home real good lately and have started to read Students Reference Work from Vol. 1-7. "Not so bad Eh?"

We have had three days vacation during teachers Institute and I sure hate to start back to school Monday.

What are you studying now? Still think of being a R.R. Clerk? When Doug was down last time he was telling us you looked like a million bucks in your new suit. I thought perhaps you would be down before it was all worn out.

Well must ring off and study Prehistoric Greece awhile. Answer real soon.

As ever,

Sue
