My Darling,

Your second letter to Wellsboro was received this morning. I was glad to get for now. I will take a little more time and will not get home until Saturday afternoon. Have been anxious to go get into Camden but can wait. Don't want to go to Syracuse for Shrine. Had much rather take it in Binghamton. Have two orders today for $24 and $167. I'm writing this so you will not expect me Friday night. Will be glad to get home.

Your affectionate,

John

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.
