"Say, wouldn't it be mighty nice if only we could get some home letters here ?" asked Hazelton, as the three left the cart at the curb and turned to enter the post-office. "We can look for home letters on our next trip here," Dick suggested. "On Tom's, Greg's and Dan's letters I'm going to add a note on the outside of the envelope to the effect that letters may be sent to this office for us.
And I'm going to add a postscript to my letter to my father and mother.
You fellows had better do the same thing." Dick's first move was to get a money order blank and fill out his application.
Then all hands attended to their postscripts. This done they went outside. "There's a little grove down that street," said Dave, pointing. "Why not go down there and take a brief nap ?" "I want a long one," Dick laughed.
"Traveling over that road was harder work than I've ever done on the football field." Their nap lasted until a little after noon. "Whee! But I'm hungry," grumbled Hazelton. "I think we may feel justified in finding a restaurant, and getting a good meal," assented Dick. "I want a steak for mine," proposed Darry.
