My Darling:


I thought early this morning that we were going to have a cool day, but it's hot! It isn't as bad as two days passed, but hot enough.

I got down here about 10:30. Stopped in Green and sold an order for $69. I have just written to Frank. I have made a search for white flannel trousers for him but have not found a pair anywhere near his size. I will find a pair soon.

I have the bank stock in my jacket and feel good over the purchase. Will probably keep it. I can't tell for sure for two days, but we'll try to get home Sunday. Send letters to Langwell, Elmira. I probably will not meet reach Elmira before tomorrow night.

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.
