Dear Mother #13 – Feb 3, 1927

This is the latest installment in a series of letters written by my grandfather Robert (born on Sept. 17, 1916) to his mother. If you are new, you will want to start with #1 or browse the archive.

In this letter Robert is feeling cryptic.

Chico,
Feb. 3, 1927
Thurs. night

Dear Mother,

Figure this out:-

I’m in a 10der mood 2 day, & feel poetic 2;
4 fun I’ll just — off a          & send it off 2 U.

I’m sorry you’re 6 0 long 2 C U [unreadable] wait,
Bear yourself with 4 0 tude B not diconsol 8.

I am enclosing a spelling paper of the third second. I made 100 on the first but I lot it.

I went to practice today. I am learning to Noth Central States and there capitals. I think I know them.

Your son,
Robert
