John Writes Home August 22, 1921


 





Avoca, N.Y.

Aug. 22, 1921


My Darling:

I was a little delayed this morning When I went to garage, I found that my battery had gone bad. I was in a quandary of what to do. Garage man advised new battery -$43. But finally, all of a sudden, the old battery took hold and it worked all right today. How I'll find it in the morning is a question.

I was delighted to get your good letter in Psach[sic[This morning. Have two orders today for $34 and $136.40. I will go to Hornell in the morning. Have more than I can do this week, that is more towns to visit than I can make.

Much love for each

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.
