write and still less

writing paper so you will have to be content with these few lines.
Last night was the last of evening school, I received a
diploma there were only three of us passed so you can imagine how big I
feel if I had more paper I would tell you

about it, I was the only girl the other two were fellows.
Tell Bella when I get a box of writing paper I will send her
a letter. I havent really had much time to write to anyone, but hope
to have more time
