Yours received this morning. I have heard that the ex-position is such a false I don't want to go to il[?] if the friends I expected to get a room from won't be there. Are you going? I would like to go just for the trip if nothing else. How about the break rates for the 27th of this month - that would be the best time to go - if we went. Could you go then? Write to me. For Miss Rosa Lou McCleod, James Island, S.C."
