Dear Rose,-

As I was feeling blue and didn’t know anything else to do so I thought I would write a little letter too you. There isn’t much to write but, Just a little letter to pass the time away.

It sure was nice and warm here yesterday and is still warmer today.

What do you think of this for writing paper. it is pretty small. It may get lost in the mail. but if you don’t get this letter you can write and let me know.

If you don’t hurry up and come back, you wont be able to get a sleigh ride because the snow is going fast.

I would like to see you next Sunday but I don’t suppose you will be half throw visiting.

Did you have a good time to the dance? I suppose the girls are there now? Are they coming back? I hope you didn’t get in your head to stay in Denmark. You don’t know how I would feel if you didn’t come back.

I just got a letter from Ida the other day I answered it this Morn. Well I guess I will close for this time,

Good-Bye. Will close with love and a kiss hoping to hear from you soon and still more hope to see you soon. from your Frend,

Douglas.
