Dear Friend Wiltsy,
I have been collecting a great many stamps to show you when I get home. I must not forget to tell you of my pet roadster, my bicycle; every Saturday that is a pleasant day. I go out on the boulevard and ride. The boys here have formed a bicycle club and I am one of the number; we have eight bicycles in the club, and have a captain, bugler, and secretary; we have badges made of ten cent pieces with the initials of the club A. Bi. C. engraved in them, very much like the one you gave to me.
I had a dog given me on Christmas. I call her Cootsey, like the name in that book I gave you; and she is a rowdy to be sure, the other day she ate up my pigeons.
There is some snow on the ground but not enough for sleighing.
