| But Mollie delayed and wanted to sell her
admirer some books, and then she had board
bill to pay, and was in difficulties generally.
1t was absolutely necessary that she should
have S15 more. and she thought it was wicked
that that paltry sum should separate them.
| when if he would only send it they could be
married, and have sweet loving time. y
Freeman thought SO too, but he determined
to take no more steps in the dark. He wrote:
TERRE HAUTE June Is, 1874.
Dear JL0Nic-Your letter OF the 18th is here.
In reply would say if YOU can't dispose Of
your baggage. then please, dearest. ship it to
me 1T your own expense: then ] will send as
much money as the baggage is worth, if not
more than SIS. I cant part with any more
money until have proof that you will come.
BY sending me Your baggage will BE- good
proof that you will come, and so by doing
YOU I'll make sure thing, SO we can be mar
ried. If you send the baggage, ship it by
express in my name. to Lomax, Henderson
county, Illinois, and send me notice or if
you cannot send ii, please borrow some money
from your best friend and come on. Then I
will make it all right. Or if you cannot do
either one, you must wait till l can get
chance TO send by somebody and bring you to
me, as am afraid of being run over in that
great city. And if you remain there much
longer you will be in such large debt that
no man will ever take you out again.
The best thing you can do is to ship me
your baggage, and then l will transmit the
money without further delay. Then you will
be in my embrace, and blessed in every re-
spect. | think You are wiser than myself,
and ought to know what to do. Ii you was in
my place you would be afraid to send money |
before you knew what was. And l am afraid |
if | send SIS more You will fly to parts I'M
known to me.
Pray, my dearest and only sweet darling !
send your baggage, and write your last letter, |
md state on what day you want to be married |

Molie being unable to see the matter in the
'ane light as her adorer, wrote him rather
sharply, and after time Freeman became
lnxious,a and addressed her as follows:
