My Darling:
Here I am in a little town about 30 miles from Binghamton. Came down to Halstead about noon and got an order from bank for $157 and have one little order here for $15.50. Have not had as much Business Today as I hoped for. Roads over this way are poor, and what they will be tomorrow, I don't dare say. It is raining very hard tonight-a genuine old-fashioned thunderstorm and I have quite a distance of dirt road for tomorrow.
I saw Mr. Hook in New Milford today and he is very sorry that you didn't come down with me. They would like to entertain you for a week. It's lonesome over here and as there is nothing new to write, I'll retire. I am glad that I am to be home for our anniversary. Wish the children could all be at home with us.
Love unbounded for each,
Your Jack

If you're new to this project, please consider going to our site and catching up with a few letters from the 1900-1910 era. The letters only take 3-5 minutes to read and you'll find the characters more fully develop if you read the letters chronologically.
John has excellent handwriting. However, in some instances, I cant decipher it. If I can't, I simply mark the spot with "xxx"s to signify thank the word isn't decipherable.
