Dear Newton,
Say old boy I am one up on you in letters, so get busy and do it.  Tell me about all is going along.  How are the girl friends going along?  [?] cause if you haven't got one come here and I will get you one.  Eric is writing a letter to Bobby D. and while he is doing it he is doing a lot of belly-aching.  I hope you can come and see us in Feb., Aunt Zelda brought a big picture of you and a lot of other boys we noticed you in the second row from the top, you looked very nice too.  We have a nice fire going in the fire-place to-day.
We have a [?] furnace and when it goes out we have an awful time lighting it again to. 3457 W.35 is our address.
Well Cherry Oh.
Love Traer.
P.S. I guess I have a few masstakes in the letter so please excuse them.
