412 Argyle Court,

Clinton, Iowa,

Aug. 15, 1912. Dear Jonas,

I came here on Friday to spend part of my vacation with my Aunt Alice. Cousin Walter met me at the station at five o'clock in the morning.

One of my cousin's friends is Dr. Johnson. He took me to ride in his new car.

From this town we can look across the Mississippi River into Illinois. It does not seem very far.

Last Wednesday was my birthday. Papa gave me a book called " Wild Animals I Have Known." I have not read it yet.

Are you having a pleasant vacation?

Your friend,

Bruce Prbscott.
