"a little later q postal came to her,
South Windsor postoffice and said:
Charlie has gone to Boston with his
best girl and you don't cut any ice.
Now since then 1 have learned that
Charlie and Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper went
to Boston about this time and l suppose
that this postal related to their trip.
From other sources it was learned
that this trip was made during the last
June.
Like the letter received before this
was burned.

him at the meeting and Charles told

meeting, last Sunday night, that ne
had made an appointment with her and
that he should go up, Tuesday AFTER
noon. and settle the matter with her.
