Just five weeks ago they attended the services at the Oratory and the Groceryman's convention at Hyde Park. He thanks Edwards for all of the postals and the books. He called on his friend and they had a swell time. There is nothing to do in Louisville, it is so hot. :: XI-2-c A.L.S. 3pp.

He is most delighted with the pin; it is a beautiful gift. He has succeeded in passing all his subjects. Last Thursday he was at a mask-ball and did not get home until 4A.M. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp.

The reason he didn't write was that he met a nice young lady on the Pretoria who occupied most of his time. The voyage was very pleasant lasting only ten days.

The Elks carnival is on in full blast. Every afternoon an aeronaut makes a balloon ascension from the grounds. He is learning to sledge in the forge shop. :: XI-2-c A.L.S. 4pp.

He was glad to receive Edwards' jollying letter. A rustic American cannot expect to walk over a slick floor like a polished Frenchman. It was lucky Mr. Huffer was near enough to save Edwards from a very serious injury.

He is sorry Edwards lost his trip to Oberammergau. :: XI-2-c A.L.S. 3pp.

When Edwards arrives in New York, he must present Herbert's compliments to Rena Marshall. Another of his friends on the Pretoria was the sailor Karl Moller. It is too bad that Edwards lost his trunk.

He thanks Edwards for the postals. :: XI-2-c A.L.S. 2pp.

He should have written sooner but every night when he gets home from work he goes to bed as soon as he has supper. His parents are stopping in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He gets very few letters now. He supposes Edwards heard of Hunter's fine showing at Buffalo. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 3pp.

He knows Edwards will have a delightful lake trip. He must not fail to visit the falls of the St. Croix River. :: XI-2-f A.LS. 3pp.

During his holiday he was busy developing his kodak films and printing the pictures. The ones they took in the parlor are quite good. He is sorry he could not be with Edwards and Folk for he would like to see them. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 1p.

Whenever he thinks of Edwards' settled state he feels sorry for him. After a half-year of wandering Edwards must find it hard to settle down to the routine of college life. That postal from Porto is just swell and he thanks Edwards for it. His mother has been very sick for several weeks. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp.

Yesterday he saw Otis Skinner in Prince Otto. It is a very fine play. Friday was the last day of their examinations and he is glad they are over. If he did not flunk in anything he will study with renewed energy next term. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp.

It is too bad that Edwards was taken sick with the grippe. The last two Sundays have been exceptionally fine and they all go driving. He is now getting a taste of college study, working for two or three hours every day on his trigonometry. John has a position as bill clerk in a wholesale establishment; it is about midnight when he gets home. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 3pp.

They were much disappointed at not having Edwards there today. He wants him to be sure to come for their field and track meet. The weather has been bad and they have not had much chance to practice. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp.

They were greatly disappointed when Edwards did not come to Louisville. He knows Edwards would enjoy the games. Tonight Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliot will present Merchant of Venice, and on the next two mights E. H. Southern will appear in Hamlet. There are a great number of attractions to divert his mind with the result that he will fail in chemistry. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 3pp.

He has changed his mind about going to Buffalo. He has started to work in the machine shop of the Southern railroad. A strike is in progress and the places are being filled by non-union men.

He is a school boy once more after his first attempt at work and one of the most pleasant summers he has known. School life is a cinch compared with real work. He hopes Edwards will come to the interstate fair. The launch built by the boys of the school is now on the river and is a great success. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 3pp.

He is ashamed to think he has not written for a month. They were disappointed in the fair. He discusses field and track events of the school. Their football team has yet to distinguish itself, for they have not made a legal touchdown yet. He is taking French. He invites Edwards to Louisville. Edwards should look up the Doerhoefer boys at Notre Dame. :: XI-2-d A.L.S. 7pp.
