My Darling:
This has been a cold, stormy day and air has been filled with snow most of the time and have had some slippery roads. Have driven only about twenty-five miles today. I don't know what to do about going to Syracuse. I know I ought not to go. And if you say you don't want me to go, I won't go.
We have three orders today for $47, $13 and $14.50, the last two for greeting cards. This makes us eight orders for the cards and we must have four more this week in order to qualify for Greeters Breakfast. Will work to get the needed four, but it's doubtful. We have 22 orders on our boogie and have got to get 13 more before each order counts for the extra dollar. I hope to get into Bath by noon tomorrow and am sure I'll find a letter there from you. Have got to stop along to make the towns I want to make and get home Friday afternoon.
Love unmeasured,
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.
