Feb. 25, 1887
Dear Alex,
I just had a
5 	sleighride and a very
good one too.
Sleighing is very good
here in the city and
I tell you it is nice 
10 	to go sleighriding in
the evening as I have
done to-night.
I wasn't all alone
when I took my sleigh-
15 	ride to-night.
The little boys here
in school have a good
deal of sport riding
down hill.
20 	Our school is on a
steep hill, and the boys
start on top and go
down like lightning.
for about as far as
25 	from your house to
grandpa's house; and
on their way they have
to cross a fence.
The three lower boards
30 	are {kracked} off, and
the upper board is
left on; and the little
boys say it is "just
heaps of fun" to go
35 	under that board
and see how high you
can put your head
without running
your head against
40 	it.
Some of the boys have
snow-shoes on which
they slide down.
If you hav'n't got any
45	snow-shoes yet, you
must make yourself
some for the{r}e the can
be got out of it a
great deal of fun.
50 	How are you getting
along in school?
I hope you are having
a go time in school.
{I} suppose Sarah is
55 	getting the prizes 
always yet, and you
are always spelled
down “dat mann 
imma so wigt"
60 	I am in the same
condition that you
are in, they are always
spelling me down “dat 
imma so rocht un dampt"
65 	Now it is nine o'clock,
and I have to hitch
up the horse and get
Miss Cook home, she went
70 	to a party.
To-morrow is Saturday,
and then I have
to split some wood.
I have to stop; and
75 	I hope to hear from
you soon again.
I received your letter,
+ also the pretty valen—
tine.
80 	Have you received many
this year?
Your uncle,
Henry Krueger.
