Hello Nick,

Received your letter and I was glad to hear from you.  I just got through with work so I’ve decided to write to you.  I had a letter from Pee Wee a few days ago and I answered it the same day to make sure I got it off, otherwise it  takes me days if I put it off.  I had a letter from home and mother asked me send a couple dollars home, so I had three dollars to my name I send it to her, she must have needed it badly if she asked for it.  I’m sending you some of the pictures, when you’re through with them, please send them to me.  Bill is having a whole set of pictures made for me, which I didn’t see yet as soon as I get them I’ll send them to you, to see them.  Helen Liveski spoke to me to-day, she wanted to know whether I know or heard where Anna Papovich is at.  Come to think of it, I wonder what she is really doing.  I suppose bumming around somewheres.  I had a letter from Bill yesterday, and he’s coming to see me May 1st.  I only hope nothing happens to spoil his plans, Nick, someday I’ll arrange wih Bill, so you two can meet, you’re not very far from Washington or maybe some day.  He’ll go to Baltimore, you see his friend, which is on the picture has an aunt there and they go there once in a while.  I’m sure you’ll like the two of them.  They’re swell fellows.  You have no idea what fun you can have with the two of them, and besides they’re no snobs, so you don’t have to worry about meeting them.

            So far we’ve been having swell weather in the city, I guess it’s really spring.  I told pap to make a nice home, that I have great plans for it.  Come to think of it, it’s going to take an awful lot of money to furnish it right, but I’m going to see what I can do.

            Well I guess this calls for a close.  It’s ten o’clock now and I’m very tired.  This is the first chance I got to-day to sit down so as soon as I seal this letter, I’m going to bed.  The more I do in this house, the more there is to do.  Give my best regards to Squarie. 

            Hoping this letter finds you in the best of health and take it easy.

Love,

Your Sister

Anne
