Dear friend Rose:

Yours received a few days ago.

Received a letter from Josie saying that she had placed out the 50 Boxes of Gum I sent her first. She did the McRay act. Caught the children coming from school. She will probably make arrangements for the teacher to collect money for her. It will make it much easier and will be no trouble for the teacher. Ha! Ha! I will send McFadden’s book a little later. Also the May Magazines. Last night I went to a euchre party and won eight games out of 15. My brother starts for St. Louis Monday, May 9 and after he gets out there, he intends to have me come if business is good there. And when I get there again I don’t expect to come home until next Spring. Have read the booklet you sent me. Glad you sent it as I wished to get your ideas on the same subject. Mr. Forester is thinking about getting married this spring although I don’t believe that the father has been approached yet. I suppose that your school will close soon and you will have plenty of time to write and read.

Yours truly,

Max

P.S. Mrs. Tohnan is in town. She has consumption and doctors say she cannot live long. She is not going back to Pittsburg and Mr. Tohnan will finish his work so as to leave there in the fall.
