Dear Mother,
Just a line or two to tell you I think I’ll meet you at Grandma’s. Since you’re not coming till Tuesday that will give me plenty of time to plan things out. I’ll go to Wilmington Saturday. The Mutchlers know the transportation situation and can help me plan how to get to C.C.
Mrs. S. is going to help me send my stuff by express.
So I’ll be seeing you Tuesday –
Love John

WOW! How old was he?
He was 14. He turned 15 two months later.
Very mature and resourceful, I’m impressed!
What a remarkable document! It is the first one giving a real sense that John has grown up. Mature handwriting as well.
