Dear darling sweetest Jess

Thank you ever so much for your sweet letter. I certainly was glad to get it. I was so impatient to read it, that I read it at prayer meeting. I always get your letters just before class prayer meeting Tuesday morning.
I wish I could see you dear? April certainly does seem far away. Just think however of being together every day next summer and in college next winter!I wish I had time to write you a longer letter darling but it is bed time.
It certainly is sad about Ruth Cleveland's death. I heard about it on the day I was bluest and it made me all the blueer. I am so sorry for Mr & Mrs ClevelandWell goodnight and cheer up well will meet soon again.

Your loving sister,
Margaret.
