My dear Sue,
When I dropped you a line this afternoon at Mansfield, I had no idea of writing you again today.
I arrived here at 7:00 o'clock and found two letters from you, one written Sunday and the other
written yesterday, and was glad to get them. There were two letters, also from the company.
The only letter I got from you at Mansfield was the one written last Thursday in which you spoke of Vic going down to Binghamton. How did he find things?
You refer to my being out on expense for Saturday noon till Tuesday AM. Last Saturday I finished work at eight at night; that is my drive back to town. I hope to be able to plan to get into some four corners where I can do some work Monday forenoon at least.
Surprised at what you say about Linda. Glad Uncle Dolp's folks called, and I'm glad they have such a nice baby. I shall not stay here longer than noon, I hope. Will have to hurry if I get to Wellsville for Sunday. Will not change my route for mail. You might send a letter to Hornell tomorrow night or Friday.
I must get to bed. I'm going to have a bath tonight and have got to sew up a rip in seat of my trousers.
Your loving,
John
Editor's notes
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.
