Frank to J. Jones

My dear Jonsey I'm awfully sorry I havnt answered your letter before. How are you. Its rather slow here now I shant be sorry when we get back. I want my grandmother to let you come there at Christmas we should have awful spree specially if my father isnt there. Mabel is an awfully jolly girl but you musnt tell the fellows about her. My dog Suso is a splendid dog black. Bob says she is the best in the country. Will you get me three yards 3d a yard, and 2 yards three hapence a yard elastic I will pay you when we go back. My grandmother sent me two half sovs I meant to keep them for next half only I spent most of one out with Bob our man the other day. Perhaps my father will give me some more but I dont know.—
