Writing on back:

Miss Itasca Hickey.
Henderson,
Texas.

Hello old Girlie,
How are you and what are you doing these days? I don't know who wrote last but I think I did. Bonnie Sory told me she heard from you. Are you with "Aunt Annie" now? How is she? Well I'm a "dignified senior"? this year. I surely do have to work hard. I had a letter from Corinne not long ago. She asked about you.

Corinne is still at Silsbee. She isn't going to school this year.

Writing on front:

Does this look natural to you? See our old room?

Write to me and I will answer when I get time. With love from your old roommate. Ruth.
