HIS LETTER, by                    
First Line: Dear father / please excuse,' he wrote
Last Line: And hastened to the -- foot-ball game.
Subject(s): Football


"DEAR Father:
Please excuse," he wrote,
"The hurried shortness of this note,
But studies so demand attention
That I have barely time to mention
That I am well, and add that I
Lack funds; please send me some. Good-by.
Your loving son."
He signed his name,
And hastened to the -- foot-ball game.
