My Dearest Friend Henry:
Received your dear letter and was so pleased to here from you. I would have answered your letter sooner but have been out in the machine from early morning until late at night -- and when I would come home I would be all worn out and would to to bed. Sunday we started early in the morning and went to San Jose and called on some friends. From there we went to Gilroy

stopped there a while and then turned around went thought San Jose and on to Los Gatos. Monday we got up early and started off again.

and a creek there so we ate our lunch there. We picked a lot of ferns and decorated our machine up and then started for home. I was so tired when I got home.

I hope you had a nice time at your Grandmothers Birthday Party, and also enjoyed yourself Sunday with that crowd you was to take out. Well dear I haven't very much more news to tell you. But I think I will be home Friday

From a dear friend who thinks of you . . . Marie
