Hello Pat,
I got your address from your mother Sat. night and decided to drop you a few lines although you didn't think to write me.
I read about you + a few more schoolmates were in jail, and think that you all are doing a fine job at what you are intending to do.
Well, "Belle Glade," is still a lonesome place, but I had a pretty nice time Easter, I went to, "Melroy" and stayed until 12:00 "me, Leni Nelson, Morid [?] Kendall + Elouise Barbor. After we got back to "Belle Glade," we went down to "Lake harbor," to the "Club 27" until 3:00 Monday morning, we had a nice time.
I don't have much to say this time, but you answer soon.
A friend, Mary
