Dearest:

Just writing a few lines to mother, and had a letter from Grace, and mother asks me how you are getting along and when you are coming, home.

Gee, Dearest, I feel terrible blue today, I feel as though, I have not got a friends, in this world, any more, since, I have not seen you darling. But Leonard I want to see you in the worst way, when I looked at the picture the one what you are sat on the rak the water background And how nice my ring showed, I cryed, as soon, as I received your letter, I went straight to my bed room And read them lying on my bed alone. I read them out first thinking, if this was you talking to me, darling.

Today I was swimming, and almost drowned I lost by breath, and the fellow what is very fond of me swim out and brought, me in, they had to give me cherry wine, and stuff, until I get, well again. So in theevening he sent me up these, sweet peas.

They had made me, think, of you, when I was sick at home, so I am trying to send you a few make believing, my darling Len sent them.

I was talking to Al Jolson today, he was in swimming but he is some flirt with the girls, there is four fellows with him he cottage is next to our, and that have wise instruments And we had some orchestra, here today.

Well dear, shall close until tomorrow, And hope you are well, And please answer soon, as I am longing to hear from you again.

Always, ALICE.
