Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 13, 1904

Dear friend Rosie:

Yours received. Sunday I went to Mr. Tohnan’s to dinner and lunch and stayed so long that I did not get time to write any letters. Mr. Tohnan has a housekeeper and is getting along nicely. He is undecided about his plans. Not feeling very well and I don’t think he ought to stay in Pittsburg. He doesn’t think so either but I guess he hates to leave it. But I don’t believe he will go to Syracuse if he does leave.

Have been in Altoona to-day and was almost inclined to stay over there until to-morrow when I saw a sign in a store window announcing a sale to-morrow morning of Flinch Cards at 18¢ per set. I hated to leave this bargain, but I may run across another.

Altoona is at the point of a water famine. If they should have a large fire, it would empty their reservoir as it is now nearly empty.

The show troupe here are stopping at the same hotel I am at. I may take it in this evening.

I expect to arrive home either Sunday or Tuesday. Address my letter there. When and where do you wish to see me during the Holidays?

Are you going to stay at home, or are you going to Rochester or where?

Please give me detail in your next letter.

Yours truly

Max

Judge from your letter that you must have heard the song called “Teasing”
