Dear Mother, Have been here since Tuesday night. It has rained every day but one. Had a good day Thursday. May leave for Detroit. If I had any clothes would stop over, but I look like the devil. May go to Owosso next week, many of the outfits went broke. Considering weather I did pretty fair. In haste, Pearl."
