II Excuse pencil and stationery
Do you remember the fellow that
passed you on horse back at the station
the Sunday morning the meeting COM
menced at st. Thomas?
Mr.. JORDAN COULD WRITE LETTERS TOO.
Mr.. B L. Jordan's reply to this letter
seemed to have answered all purposes
, Eastman wanted Miss Josie johnson to
get some one else 20 back the letter and
also wanted her to use business envelopes
and these requests were complied with.
The missive was evidently so satisfactory
that he began 1t with Burn this" and
left out the word AM in telling Of his
coming.
He also threw of all reserve and sign
ed his name in full to the letter.
