Now it is raining
Snow is falling
There is coal here
There is gold here
There is water here

Dear Dan
Yes, I came out of the corn
Back to the city
Both to draw and to do copy
On the new cars.
To date I am able
To put cash in the bank
And bear a bill or two.
The new deed has done it.
The city has been busy
But cold for two days.
Dear baby has been to see her best aunt.
A band came by the door.
Baby let the bird cage drop down with a blow.
The bird died.
Boys put its dead body
Deep in a dark card case.
Baby also has a ball and blue book to drop.
I put the boat away.
Its deck did burn,
But I care not
As it does not cost a cent.
Come, call on me at the club.
Yours sincerely,

Adjusted speed is 19
