Dear Tom,
Just returned from a trip down to the good old East and found two of your letters which are rather disappointing. I wrote to you that I could not possibly write while I am away and therefore I thought that you will excuse me and wait until I return, but you evidently got the wrong inpression [sic] of my epistle. No, I am not angry at you at all, I am just so busy that I hardly have time for my meals. I had a fine time on my holidays and believe me I have made quite a hit with some dames. Don’t be surprised if you should receive an anouncement [sic] of my engagement or even a marriege [sic].
I am enclosing $6.00 to cover the last and the balance due you for the photo work. I lost the bill you sent me and therefore I am not quite sure if this is the right amount, but if it is not you let me know and we will fix the difference at once. I am sorry that I did not settle long before this, but you know, I was so darn busy and did not have enough cash for the trip took several hundreds out of my pocket.
How is everybody? Kindly convey my best regards to them. I will be in Coleman when I have an opportunity and it will be soon I hope.
With brotherly love,
Your big brother,
Demetrius
