My dearest Edward,
I want to get this written so the post man can take it when he comes along, then it can go up on the El Dorado this afternoon. I have just written a note to Martha and Joc. I sent them a picture of Ruth Heidt that I cut out of The Tribune yesterday. It is perfectly wonderful and I hope that Martha shows it to you, dear.
Mother and Dad have not gotten home yet. I expected them last night, I guess they either stayed at Biggs, California last night

or somewhere along the way down. I guess you all had a good time yesterday. I hope Martha had enough chairs to seat you. It rained hard all day here yesterday.
I practised [practice] in the morning. In the afternoon we had a big fire down stairs. We played the Victrola. I have been playing the record you gave me over and over, dear. Saturday I bought Just a Japanese Sandman, by Art Hickman. It is real good.
Even though you have been gone only two days, I miss you so much and it seems as if you have been gone for ages. I will be so glad when Thursday comes and I will see you again, dear. I hope that you are having a nice time, and

that you were not tired out from the long ride up there. Take good care of yourself and don't get sick.
When you come home I will show you how grand I can drive. Saturday I drove over the railroad tracks, shifted the gears and everything. I am simply crazy about it. Of course I will have to have loads more lessons before I can ever take it out alone.
The play was very good Saturday. It was both sad and funny. I suppose you know that Cal beat Washington. I guess the Cal and Stanford game will be very exciting. I am crazy to go.
Artha, (not a boy), and Ruth came to tea last night.

We put the card table up in the parlor and ate in front of the fire. We went to bed a little after nine.
I was going to write to you last night but I knew that you wouldn't get it any sooner, so I waited till this morning. I was thinking of you all day yesterday, dear, just wishing you were with me. I hope that I get a letter from you to-day, I am crazy to hear from you.
Well, sweetheart, it is time for me to close. Be a good boy. Think of me when you have time.
Lots of love, Marion
