I certainly do wish you were
going to be up in this country during the
time, and just for the change, believe
you would enjoy it. We are going to
have a fancy dress ball on the night of

to have a fine time
me all about it, won’t you? I
two girls here last week, in fact they
only left yesterday, who went to Kallin
last winter and both of them know Louise
Pratt, and thought she was just fine,
but when I asked them about Miss
Thomas
said "excuse me." They also met George
Pratt, and liked him ever so much.
We have some fine girls to visit this
place and for the past six weeks
it has been one continuous round of
to get dead again.
Wasn't it awful about Charlie
Fishburn

Sincerely,
Dooley

friend young Miss Stockton- don’t tell
her that he doesn’t know her first

he plays and sings “as long as
the Congo” you know what that makes
me think of, don’t you
