Wednesday morn
Dearest Nursie:
Your
nice letter received Monday
and will write you just
a few words today although
I dont suppose you will
get it in several days,
as the mails are water
bound. Well the "breeze" was
most too strong for me to ven-
ture out Sunday, although
I felt like defying the elements
to get to see you. Sweetheart
it seems that fate is against
us. Every time we expect to see
each other some thing happens
2
to prevent and it is always
something over which we
have no control. However
our time will come, and
we shall like it better
for the waiting, or I shall.
I cannot believe you want
to see me half as bad as
I do you. If you did you
would not hide in the school
house when I go out there.
When I was out there last
week I went up near the house
to knock those balls purposely
to see you, but did not get
a glympse of you at all. You
see I have no right to go in
a school house. I got your
3
sisters invitation to the dance
Friday night and acknowledged
same at once, but am not
sure whether I can go or
not. I am going if possible
just so I may be with you
for a few minutes. I know
you will have so many "beaus"
until I cannot get in speak
ing distance. I have been
terribly lonesome of late.
Quintus is gone and Blanche
too, and I miss them so much
Major is home with me
now and will stay until Sun-
day. He and I will try to be
at the dance. I have got to
see Joe one day this week about
a game of ball, and will let you
4
know for certain whether we
will come or not. I havent time
to write a long letter today for
I have double work to do now.
I hant had time to post my
books since Saturday and have
a half days writing to do on
them - Dont you pity me?
I will stop. hoping to see
you real soon.
Ever yours,
Jno.H.A.
