My Darling:
Your letters written Tuesday and Wednesday were waiting for me when I arrived here at about six
o’clock tonight. Was delighted to hear from you. Have had a tough day working in four or five towns with no business. I have called on an old customer here tonight and sold him an order for $104.25. Must work here in forenoon and then will go down toward Wyalusing and may stay there over Sunday. It’s a neat town of about 600 souls. When I read what you said about Elizabeth I decided I would stay out the three weeks and go to Syracuse Friday night and take her home Saturday, June 4, but on reading the letter again I take it that she will not want to go home in middle of week. I don’t know how she can come in car as I don’t want to break into a week.
I have a lot of work to do out here and feel its best to hang to the binder for these three weeks. Our business has been junk for past eight weeks and I would like to catch up a lot of these little towns before July. Hope you have a good meeting tomorrow. Sorry I couldn’t have had more time with Vic and Lill.
I rather think I’ll be in Mansfield, Pa. for Sunday. Get a letter there anyway.
It’s way past my bedtime and I must rest.
Love unmeasured,
Jack
Editor's notes
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.
