Dearest family,
Your letter came this morning mother and yours too Louise and I was awfully glad to get them. Had one form M. and a regular funny paper of extracts from her exam papers. I will send both on but want to keep them here to-day. It is almost time for my two o’clock class so I can’t write much of a letter. The second try out for the Daily Orange has started and all the Alpha Chis are out. I can’t see but that they are making it just as hard as before. I’ll be pretty busy this week now. Have to go to the swimming meet tonight and report on it. Do I get a letter every day this week? Wish I could and then I’ll write more next week. It is wonderful here today.
Lots of love,
Betty

If you're new to this project, please consider going to our site and catching up with a few letters from the 1900-1910 era. The letters only take 3-5 minutes to read and you'll find the characters more fully develop if you read the letters chronologically.
John has excellent handwriting. However, in some instances, I cant decipher it. If I can't, I simply mark the spot with "xxx"s to signify thank the word isn't decipherable.
