My dear Mother:

Things are humming just now with the Ball tomorrow and A said she would go today. I had no costume or material for one even. Tomorrow will surely be a busy day for us. I am no good at sewing so A will have to [illegible] mine together as well as her own. Tomorrow P.M. I expect to spend with her and we shall get something put together some how.

We were on a terrible charette last week getting the decreations up but now they are practically finished for which

I am truly thankful. I don't think I shall ever be clean again as the Philadelphia grime of a number of years past is ground into my hands knees feet etc.

Your check for the $200 came last Monday but I have been too busy too more than [unidentified] the [arts?] on the [?] of my last letter. Those you haven't seen [unused?] but suppose you haven't or I would have heard from you.

I went to the Opera last Tuesday out seats were in the last row of the Family Circle we heard fairly well except for our neighbors.

Hoping that everything is going well with you I am Your Loving Son John P.S. Thank you so much for the check unless you think you will need the money during the Summer I think I shall use it instead of the [?] because it is simpler. P.S. I got a 3^rd menter in my studies [Mother country's] 2 friends.
