Templeton, Mass.,
June 14, 1903.Dear Lucy:-
This is going to be a short letter for I have been working all day, as usual, and am rather tired. I have been over to see Charlie several times. Yesterday I asked him how he felt & he said, "I feel just as I like to." so I don't think we need to worry over him. We are going to have Children's Sunday next Sunday as Mr. Nickerson is going to preach two weeks from to-day. We had Mr. Clark of Gardner here to-day. He was real good. I shall have my garden full of flowers by the time you get home I guess. I have eight gladiolas, two four o'clock, a whole row of sweet peas, another of lettuce, two of radishes, a bed of poppies and a bed of mignnonette up. Don't you think I have quite a garden? I am going to graduation. I expect Mary Priest has invited me to stay all night at her house. If there is an eleven o'clock car I don't think I shall except. [sic] If there is not I think that I may except. We girls are all coming home on the two o'clock car Friday to go to the graduation up here.
Burton W. Kendall is at home from
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology at Boston for the vacation.
He is acting as conductor on the G.
W. & F. street railway.Don't you think it would be nice to go to Fitchburg and Leomister [sic] or to Whalom this summer? What have you got for Mama and Auntie. Just think only this week to go to school Florence and Rena are going to G.H.S. next fall and Mildred Blanchard is goign into the Prep. Arthur Geary's little brother has just died. He was the president of the Preparatory class.
XXX XXX With love.
Mary.[The notice about Burton Kendall is a newspaper clipping glued to the stationery.]
