Dear Nick:
Just thought l would drop you

we cannot go out together. But
N.ait until the summertime and
then we can go away together.
When you find you are in posi-

away and do the thing quietly.
l am old enough to know my own
mind and we shall see later on.
l wish you would hurry up and
speak the English language, as you
know some things I cannot under
stand l would like to live in Hart
ford if 1 should get married. so
would be away from my folks or
any other place.
OF course, Nick, 1 would want you
to come to church with me, as that
is the only way that people get
along together, otherwise we would
not get along good
1 know that you love me and
love you, and I know if I should
marry you that I would not get one
penny from my people. as they have
told me that several times. So it
is up to you to have some money
saved up before we should think of
marriage.
Don't let anyone see this letter.
When you read it put it in your
pocket so they won't see it. Good
by. Your girl

for remembering me- As you know

letter. but every dark cloud has its
silver lining. Learn to labor and to
wait.

For dust thou art. to dust returneth.

me was gone. Very lonesome. But
what can / do2 Nothingl
Now dearie. / know you are tired
of me and my letter. and will close
for this time. Write soon.
