Fort Wayne, Ind.

Dear friend Rosie:

Have not heard from you in some time. I suppose that school is keeping you busy. I intended to write you last night, but I got so sleepy that I went to bed instead. I had been to the theatre the night before. I am going to attend a dance to-night.

Am still on the same run but stay is getting indefinite. I think that the Fair travel is going to take a sudden tumble in the near future and I don’t care to work for my present boss when business is not good. But will stay as long as it pays me to do so unless something happens. The circuses close this month and as the boss is an old circus man, a lot of circus butchers who act as news agts. during the winter will flock to Danville and boss may want too much from my run.

Have not yet decided where to go when I get through here. One or two others have spoken to me about going to Portland so as to be there for next years fair.

We have had some very very cold weather here in the last week. It begins to look like the approach of winter.

How is the weather there?

Write often

Yours,

Max

Gen Del Danville, Ill.

Have just thought that you might have written me to Fort Wayne. Will call at Post Office here Monday and see.
