writing before long. Aunt Flo wrote yesterday but I don't know whether or not she has mailed it. The boys are very smart youngsters and are all the time catching me up in History. I think kids who know every date in history and "floor you with them, flat," as the Mikado says, should be executed. Nevertheless (whew!) it must be a big satisfaction to have smart kids, only I think I'd like mine to be less impudent than these. I suppose because I'm a teacher that I'm crosser than need be, but I like better behaved boys than these. That's the way people always talk, who haven't any of their own.
