Insight Into Grandma

This week's letter from John C. McClure to Miss Constance Warwick of Alva, O.T. takes us back to April 30, 1904, Quincy, Ill.

Quincy, Ill., Apri. 30, Miss Constance Warwick, Alva, O.T.

Dear Friend Connie: I received your long looked for letter today. I certainly believe you have lost track of me. So you are back in school again. How many times do you walk around the square each evening after school?

I have been walking around some this evening. Did you ever see anything of my hat. I supposed you had forgotten about that. I have not forgotten what happened the Sunday Eve after we came home. Have you? I have changed rooming places. you never put the street address on my letters so I got it at the college.

I have been studying pretty hard of late. I am now in the 90 word class. Have 8 classes yet to make, then I am coming to O.T. to see you. What do you think about that.

Does Walter Rose go to school? He thought Bessie was all right when I was in Okla. Where is Blanche now? There are 8 boys rooming here and 5 girls. 7 of them is a fright.

We have some good times but I am sick of the whole shootin match. It will soon be warm enough to go boating. There is going to be an excursion up to Keokurk tomorrow.

do they teach short hand in the Normal? I remember hearing Dr. Amotte when I was in Okla. They had the Lecture in the Assembly room. is WIlkson still teaching in the Normal and where is Ament?

Well! I will have to close for want of something. Your friend, John c. McClure, address 435 North 7th St., Quincy, Ill.
