This is one of two letters dated Apirl 6, 1925 that Alice Gray sent to Lillian Glasner. From textural evidence, we know that this letter was written after the other letter. From the text, we can be certain that both were not written on the same day.

Duluth--
April 6, 1925.

Dearest Lillian,

Received your letter and I know I have been negligent. I just returned from Virginia this afternoon—and fun. I visited all my old friends and pals. Last Sunday Monday I had supper at Neil Hawkin’s brother’s home—and had a lovely evening with them. I am sorry to miss so much but still my trip home has been wonderful.

Yesterday I went to the show and saw the “White Sister.” I’ll have a lot to tell you too when I come back there.

Mother and I have had another one of those spats—terrific, you know, and so I’m upstairs.

Yes, I’ll be back in Olivet. I expect to leave Sunday—and I’ll be there Monday. Could you meet me at the ange whenever I come? I always hate to ask you to—but you’ll do that for your old pal won’t you?

I’m sorry you didn’t see Alice—but she’ll forgive you. I’m glad you had a nice time in Detroit. I do hope you’ll be able to come to Duluth. I’m going to put in my application for a job to-morrow for June. If I can get a good one, I may keep right on working. It seems I have to fight for every little bit I get—so maybe it would keep peace in the family. Mother is on the war path again—so I don’t know how it will turn out. She surely has a miserable temper. She says she’d love to have you come—because she knows you are a nice girl.

My dad is feeling fine and he’s going to the train with me Easter when I leave.

I have some secret to tell you about my Nels. You’ll be surprised!

I just had a letter from Muriel Burdick. I’m sorry to miss all those entertainments you speak of—for Muriel asked me to go.

I just located one of my old High School chums here—so I’m going to call her—and she is going to get a date for me. I do so want one!

I expect I’ll have a lot to make up when I come back—but I hope they’ll give me some time. Mother was very sick while I was gone to Virginia, but she is feeling better to-day. We have rented a place 827 E. 6th St.—and it has plenty of room, so you’ll invited to come.

I’ll try to find out to-morrow about the trip and the cost.

It will seem good to come to Olivet again. Everyone says I have gotten so fat. Olivet, and its rule did me good.

Best regards to
Miss Smith
Your mother and
Sister and all.

Your pal,

Alice
