and soul goes out after you.
MY love for you air like young
steer in clover it grows stronger
all the time. Since | first sot my
eyes on you l have loved you
with a love that never looses its
grip on the strings and ropes OF
my heart. | have seed lots OF
gals in my life that looked sweet
and made me want to marry but
none that could steal my heart
like you. She was over to our
home the other day and said you
was not half so sweet as people
think. | can see for myself and
know that you are as pretty as
streeked stockings. If you was
sugar it seems like | could eat
you all up at one bite and not get
any in my teeth. I tried to stop
thinking o. you and 60 to work
but it's no USE for am studying
about you now and long to kiss
your sweet rosy lips. I'll come
over to your home next Sunday
and bring my pockets full of
nice red juicy apples. Ma is
making soap today | hope the
time will soon come when you
can wash my clothes with that
soap. But l guess it's too soon to
talk about serious matters yet
pa went out today to run the
cows outer the field and fell
down and hurt his knee He cuss-
ed awful bad an says he is going
to kill every cow he sees, SO Pm
glad you are not COW. am
going to town next week and get
me a pair Of breeches and gallos-
es. Then I'll 60 to see you in
some sort of style. Store -bought
galluses is the style so they say
and Pm going to keep up with
the style if it costs me one of my
best yearlings. What would you
say if / was to ak you to yoke up
in matrimony with me? l have
got enough to git the Incense
$3.50 over / guess squire will
will make US one for that cause
he knows what marryin' is. he
wants to marry hisself. Let me
hear from you at once and if it
suits you I'll marry just as soon
