This is the last day of school for this
term I am in hopes of going next term
but am afraid that it will be as it
always has cant be spared it is rather
mean but I can stand it.

I was at Buffalo the other day but
did not call on Ransoms folks because
I had to go out in a rain and
got so wet that I did not want to

I cannot write to day I worked
in the hay field this afternoon till I
could hardly stand I should not have
commensed at all but happened to think
about it and concluded to mind my
failings and write immediately.
Please ask Charlie wheather I answered
his past letter or not it has been so long
I have forgotten our folks Aunt Hills folks
and all are well at present you must
let this letter go for all it will and tare
it up as soon as you read it keep a
stif upper lip and be a good boy is the
best advice of
