My Darling,
Will drop you a word this morning, but don't know whether you'll get it tonight or not. Didn't get through work last night until 10:30, so didn't write. I had good fortune to sell our xxxx at Margaretville yesterday for $175.25. I reached here last night at 7:30 and sold two orders for $29 and $52.75, and will get out on the train at 7:53 this morning for Arena, Shareitown and Downsville. Will have to stay in Downsville all day Monday I expect. Will be mighty lonesome tomorrow.
Your loving John
