My Dear Clarence,

Your Thursday
night letter mailed Fri
morning has just reached
me on the four o'clock
mail this Saturday
afternoon. I have
had two long letters from
you today enough to make
any girl supremely happy.
Daddy's (good advise) letter
came this morning.
You had better believe
I read it not twice

[end of letter inserted at top of this first page]

the top of the ladder
by singing at the
[?] musical
occasion given
in New York.
I do not think
I will weaken
it by doing
something
which I shall
not appear as
well in.

What a slave
I have written
you - Yes
darling we
will drive to
Delaware
sometime - Oh
those happy times
coming

Yours ever
Girlie
