May 9, 1919, From Richard

Indiana University
May 9, 1919

Dear Esther:

I hope you have fully recovered from the effects of the sad parting with high-school life. How far into the future have you seen? Is not life just full of mysteries and perplexites [sic]?

There is a question in my mind concerning your "attitude" at present. The unsolved is to know what has been done by me to make certain things unexplainable. I hope it is not necessary for you to try to understand this.

We have rain, rain, rain. I guess I shall celebrate for someone tonight, May 9. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Yours Truly,
Richard

P.S. Please pardon my short inspiration,
