Dear Nannie,

I got home Tuesday all right but had a flat tire on the way. We got another man to fix it though so it was all right. Did you get the rents fixed up so you won’t have to bother with them any more? I hope so.

If we come up next summer I intended to help you much more than I ever did this summer. This summer I was just a lazy old goon. Sitting around reading books and enjoying myself but next summer I intend to make up for it. School starts two weeks next Monday and I’ll be glad for once.

When we got back my encyclopedias were waiting and I took them up to my room. The next day I brought out the bookcase I am to put them in and stained it with floor stain. I looks like mahogany now. It will be very attractive when I put my books in I think. I love the books and I am so happy you gave them to me. I have always wanted Encyclopedias. These just fill the order perfectly! I will use them a lot I know, for school, Girl Scouts and other things for home.

I took that picture clipping home that you said looked like me and hung it up in my room. Some of the kids thought it did look like me but I still don’t see any resemblance.

Did you notice my handwriting? Instead of getting better it’s getting worse. I’ll have to do somethings about it.

Love
Sibyl

9:00 P.M. time for bed goodnight!
