Provo, Utah, Jan 13, 1911.
Dear Mother:
It is Friday afternoon and one long week of school after holidays. Of course we are just getting started again and it seems long. Next week will be a busy one so we will get into work again.
We will all stay home tonight and get rested up a little.
I just got a letter from Min---. She is going to El Paso to see Alice. I won’t write any more to her. I would like for you to read some of her letter. She is very foolish. I got some handkerchiefs for Aunt Tilda.
The ring came and thanks very much for it also the money and cake. I don’t deserve any jewelry as I spent so much anyway. My trip to Grantsville cost about $15.00. By going I saved $8.00 as board bill, so it cost about $7.70 extra. I had lots more fun than that. Of course// I would have spent more in Provo anyway. Every one of them at Grantsville treated me so good.
Edla and Judith came out for a masquerade ball that they had at Grantsville and Einar went back with them to Salt Lake. I took them Thursday to Toelle with Erickson’s team and then stayed till Sunday morning and came back with Jefferies boy.
I went out to Augusta’s again, had dinner and then went into Salt Lake and hunted up the other girls. They are fine girls alright. They all dance and seem quite popular.
We went to two theatres at Grantsville, and three dances, one party.
I had dinner with Miss Zina Anderson the Bishops daughter. I believe its Gustav Anderson that lives north by the Coop and one black --------. They treated me very good.//I went down to see her a while before I left. Then I wrote to her yesterday and then had a good time with a Matthew girl. Her mother used to play with you and your sister she said. Bill Matthews is one of her sons. I took her her to a dance and went to see her and stayed quite a while. We had a good time. Well I must not think anything about them now, but get to work again. Who does Alfie go with; I haven’t heart a thing about the band, orchestra, or about Alfies practicing on the violin. Almost 5 inches of snow fell here on Monday but now everything is melting. It is as warm as summer almost today. Anna sent me a box of candy and Joy and Josie sent me a fine black tie. I am sending a bill of money received by me to pa.//
Uncle John is s0 deaf that I never said a word to him, had to write everything. I asked Aunt Tilda how much she weighed. She said about 140#, and she’s no heavier than you, I don’t think.
I saw Thomas Williams. He spoke lots of you and pa.
It seemed very good to see all the folks and have such a good time. I’m afraid I’ll want to go there again.
That Jeffries boy is about 19 years. John Erickson said your lot is worth about $600.00 just roughly guessing. The cake was awful good and the ring is a little large. What shall I do about it? It is a fine one just the kind I hoped for when you said it was coming. I have plenty ties now.
Will you ask pa if anyone paid $3.00 for the last dance I played for.// It was never settled.
I wish you would speak to Bro Rencher about my credits. I must have them soon and all I can get.
Chopin is the name of the musician that I received a picture of.
You told about Cora and ---la I am not worrying about anyone yet.
I will have to stop now.
From your son:
Albert
