My Darling

I have been thinking of you all the evening and hope you are having a good time. I got here about 7:30 and would like to see Rob’s folks but I don’t feel in the spirit of visiting so I’ll keep away. Keep me posted if there are any new developments at the farm. Hope you will have help when it comes to picking up odds and ends for the auction.

I have three orders today for $42, $233.50 and $28. No news so will go to bed and forget all I can.

Love unmeasured,

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.
