Dearest Homefolks:
Someway I can't make up my mind to write you a letter so I'll write you a note. There hasn't very much happened of interest around here these days, at least nothing that would interest you. There have been several changes of houses making room for the Stixruds and the people who are coming with them. The house Miss Larson was living in is called the Stixrud's house and we are looking for them the first of Feb.
You have no way of knowing how glad glad glad I was to get your picture and it is so good of you too. Seems to me if the picture speaks true you are looking much better than when we left. I hope you won't continue to teach school and ruin it all. I was also glad to get the other pictures, too, but you see this is the second picture you have ever had taken that I remember. I hope you will thank the taker of this picture for me when you see her or write to her.
This is a very scratched up and messy letter. I hope no one sees it but you and Daddy. I am writing in a very big hurry. The mail may close before I finish. I want to tell you now if there is a longer space between my letters than usual that we missed a mail on account of change of stamps. The letters were sent back. Notice the difference.
It will be all right for you to make up a letter out of my old letters for the friends. I think it will help very much, as I won't have time to write to them. I have two dozen on my immediate list now. Not that I write to them all the time, no by no means, only owe them letters. I got another letter from Miss Evans in the last mail saying she was to be married soon and that she found her romance at Kerrville also. You might have heard it, but if not, know you are interested. Oh! please give the Livingston people my love; I have been putting off their letter so long, but hope to get at it soon.
All those things you say the Stixruds are bringing are mighty nice and I need the center pieces so badly and the luncheon sets also. I certainly am anxious to see them. The package from Carroll hasn't come yet, but there hasn't been any more packages come since the letter, and didn't any come in that mail either.
B.M. is afraid my letter will get left, so goodbye to all.
Lovingly,
Dorothy
