Dearest mother,
It has been great having Frank here today although I haven’t seen such a lot of him. I hope you haven’t worried as to where he is. We have some things we would like you to collect for our stunts night Weds. Night-three soft fluffy cushions-a bottle we can mark “pizon”, my imogene would be good, much cotton for
false hair, glue, a lily, cane, can’t think of anything more now. Our big white bathroom mirror would come in handy. Have things in the classroom back of choir. Ask them if they can fix the lights so we can have light on the platform dim everywhere else.
Ask Mrs. Foster to get “Turkey in the Straw” ready. As her if she will please play it for us I mean.
Much love,
Bet
No more time

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.
