Dear Sis,
I am going to get promoted this year. School will be out soon. My grades were: reading 88 spelling 99 arithmetic 71 language 80 geography 85 history 88. There are 25 or 26 in the class and I ranked 13.
Arithmetic is hard. I made 95 in deportment.
This summer I am going on the Scout camp and nothing is going to keep me from it. I hope to get me a job this summer painting with Uncle Jess. He will give me 25 cents an hour for painting houses.
Say, I weigh 115 lbs and I can whip Watt all over the house. I can Ha! Ha! you write him and ask him if I whipped him over at Jack's house. I did.
It won't be long until I am a 1st class Scout. I am going to get a merit badge for cycling. I have to ride a bicycle 50 miles ini 10 hours. I can, too.
Lots of love "Bill"
