Friday.

My dear Will,

​I have been writing some letters and must write a little to you although there is little to say.  I rang up Mr. Ahrens + Col. McManus.  Col. McManus was very nice.  I asked him to give you ten days leave as you said and he said it would be alright, and he was sorry about it all.  I shall be glad to have a little news from you.  I have written a little note to Miss Attee.  I think we should pay the telegraph bill.  I suggest that you ask her to send you the bill as soon as it comes in.  She has sent quite a number of wires and that amount we can at least make good to her.  We must also recompense Miss Rastert, perhaps you would rather I wrote about that but you might find out just how much time she gave up to the work.  Without doubt Miss Attee will give you details.

It is chilly here today + there is quite a wind.  I found the big rooster in a box in the garage.  The baby chicks are all fine.  When I happened to notice the mesh of the new wire I thought they had better fatten up quickly or they would all get through the wire.  I hope you get some rest on the train.  After you went I read the lesson for 30 min, then decided I had better tell Margaret + did so.  I keep them home from school and they have played together all the day.  They carried their dinner outdoors and ate it under the trees at the back of the vacant lot.  I spent a very busy morning + have spent quite a little time writing + am going to send Margaret to mail the letters in a little while.

Be sure to tell the girls to come here as soon as they can + I will do anything I can for them.  I am sure to have a servant soon.  Employment Bureau man just rang up that he was sending out a nice girl, so my hopes are high again altho' just at present I would as soon be doing the work.

I will write you again tomorrow and please let me hear from you as often as possible.

Much love to my dear Boy,

​Kathleen.

Miss Attee was a Cincinnati friend from when Will and Kathleen were living there.  I've put her in the non-family page for Ohio folks.  Miss Rastert was a Christian Science practitioner, who is also mentioned in:

"the girls" must be Alma, Laura, and Eva.  Kathleen wrote a letter to them the next day, suggesting they come to Atlanta for a visit:
