Miss Clara Hinderer
Watertown, SD

May 3, 1909

Dear Miss Hinderer: Thank You very much for the pretty ??. Just think, my vacation comes the middle of this month already. It being that early upsets all my air castles<ref>Urban Dictionary Enormous dreams that will never come to fruition. Ex.Did you hear all the things Bob is going to do this summer? Yeah I heard him, but I think he is just building a bunch of air castles</ref><ref>Dictionary.com A hope or desire unlikely to be realized; daydream. Ex. All daydreaming builds this air castle ; all ambition has this as its goal. "I should like to be the queen of something more substantial than an air castle," she replied laughingly.</ref> that I built since last year. Somebody told me about it today and I'm still so surprised. Met your sister <ref> I believe this was Julie Hinderer. She was 19. Julie became a nurse. I don't have any records of her schooling, but many people went to Mankato for nursing school</ref> out walking yesterday. She looks real well. Today the sun shone for the first truly for many a day. Are you working hard?

With kind reguards,
Lydia D.
