I will introduce you to Justice Bodman, age 12, next door neighbor. About 10.30 we got our skates and went down to the skating pond. A bunch were going down to the ice pond so we went too. The ice was bum so we came back to the outlet. Jut or Justice never skated before so you aught to have seen him skate. I'm punk too. In the after Lloyd Goodrich and Will Goodrich and Harold Sterner came down. H.Sterner doesn't live here. We went up to Goodrich's and played consequences. After that we rough housed. I came home after dark and took out my new $4 racer Flexible Flyer and coasted down in the field next to our [[strikethrough]] sled [[/strike through]] house. I have gotten to go pretty good. In the mail I recieved an Ingersoll Junior $2 watch for collecting 220 H-O coupons.
