Dear Anna

I have got tired of waiting
for you to write so I [thought?]
I would write to you. I suppose you
do not have very much time to write
do you? How are you getting along.
I did expect to here [hear?] from you
before.
We are all well except [Ma?]
she is never very well you know [---?] [---?]

You know that lace you learned me? well
I have got three yards done but I got
three yards done but I got pretty sick
of it I can tell you. I am going to
put it on white skirts I have got another
pretty pattern called the Wheell [Wheel?]
lace I have just got one rollop done.

Mr McFall and his respectable family have
moved to Chicago.

I have got acquainted with Mr Moore's folks
and like them very much. Mattie is coming
over to learn to make that lace.

We had a nice raine [rain?] to day and may
Heaven be thanked for we needed it very
much.

The [They?] have just got five schollars [Scholars?]
now Mr Hanna's little girl has got the scarlet
fever.

I have got my white dress partly made for
summer it is enforced almost to the top.
I am going to have it made with a [blouse?]
waist and ties behind and plain skirt.

Now Annie I hope you will write to me
soon

Good by as I can think of you more Just now.

I am ever your truest Well wisher
Edna Spicer

I send my best wishes
On a summer card
Because no winter
Chills my warm regard
Edna Spicer
