Ny Darling Birdie-I. arrived home
rather late tonight, as worked rather
late IN the store, and found another
sweet message from you, my love,
awaiting me, and am now answering
It. Nes, my darling. | will answer any
question you ask me. l never have
shown any of your letters to any one
not soul. and | never will do so.
have got some news for you, darling.
Tonight l received o letter from my
sister Martha, in Los Angeles, and she
sends her love 10 you. l hope to write
you IN day or two. She also sent me
. letter that she had from home, and
also one that WAS sent to ME In Los
Angeles by that girl. Now, my darling,
don't let this bother you, nor don't
think for one moment it Is any fault of
mine, for swear that / have never
written to her since q year ago last
New Years, and that was the last let
ter that you mailed which / sent to
you at Saranac. think 1t best not to
take any notice and then she will not
know l am in the city. You will see
she speaks Of having my picture. For
the life of me, l don't know what she
means, unless it is that Martha sent her
one Of those large ones.
Thisk OF the Sacred Pledges.
She promised her one of her pic
lures long while ago, and she asked
me il she could send one of those and
! told her no, under no circumstances,
to do it, but am afraid she did, after
i came away. | do hope. my darling,
you will zee this plainly and hold me
free from any responsibility. l am
sure you can see my honesty in all my
dealings, for if / had any secrets to
hide am sure l should not mention
this. If at any time she should near l
am back and should come to see me, /
shall take no notice and not know her,
or tell her plainly that her attentions
and letters are annoying. Rich Com
mons 10 writing on one end of the
table and on the other. He sends his
regards, and would like to see you in
the city again. / have sent you my
sisters letter from homo to let you see,
at least, part that Martha sent me. /
think she is coming to Chicago in '93.
i do hope so. / am sure you would
like h3, as she is very clever girl.
She speaks five or SIX languages. l saw
Jack yesterday, and he inquired for
you and sent mis- regards. l was
thunderstruck. do hope, my darling
Birdie, that you will forgive this horrld
writing tonight. 1 think it must be
this bad paper. Now l have devoted
the first two pages to business and tins
last one must ill in with love. It'll
the same old story, darling. and
all OF my letters are intended to be full
OF love for you and not one line more
than another. but love IN every word.
think that the old story is always good
and can always be repeated, unless il
tires my darling. / love you, Birdie
darling, and no one else but YOU. /

now, aud whenever q doubt arise in
your mind regarding my faithfulness
or sincerity, look back upon those
sacred oaths and pledges tnat We may
rest assured that / am carrying them
out to the utmost. Kindly tear up
