Sunday P.M.
Dearest Sister,
Seeing I have no answer to mine of a week ago, I’ll try again. I expect to leave here this coming

Thursday (April 28) at 8:25 a.m. for Syracuse where I’ll buy my coat and mitten Eliz- so may see her, then take the the afternoon train for Earlville and if you do not want me and my trunk just say so, as Bess [her other sister] wants me to come there. I go one to Morrisville Sat. and Binghamton is out of the question now. Have not decided yet where “it” will be. But I think I’ll have a little time in Mad-leo. No doubt Vic will have but a few days and with his mother. We have got to be getting a place and get settled. Guess this is all.
Lill

Editor's notes
Lill [Sue’s sister] had sold a house in Philadelphia and bought a farm. I don’t know if they’ve now sold the farm and are looking for a new home or adding a property.

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.
