NEW IOhh ClTr, Aug. IL.
HEAR MAGGIE am glad
~ you can have II 10 nice and
comfortable down there to
Che shore where the ocean breezes
blow. This is the worst Summer
for heat and general humidity we
have ever had. You are lucky to
be away. Don't be in any hurry
to come back, a. this tough
weather win probably last for
some time yet So, don't hurry
back.
OF course, I am having q very
miserable time, not going no
where or nothing except suffer
ing from the heat, etc. I am very
miserable, but don't think you
have got to hurry back on that
account.
It is said the coal is getting
very scarce here In the city on
account Of the strike, so, Of
course, you had better stay where
you are for some time yet.
I miss you an awful lot and
have . tough time getting along
with the housework, but I am
getting along all right and 90 do
not cut short your visit and hurry
back on that account. The apart
ment looks pretty good, as ! keep
II slicked up o. X. and you don't
need to think you have got TO
hasten back here to look after
that.
I have suffered terrible here
al alone, but you stay right
where you are. You have got .
good time coming to you. !
would never forgive myself II
you should cut short your visit
On my account -, although II 10
. great hardship to be here alone
In all this heat and everything, I
want you TO stay there where
everything L. to the pretty.
Tho meals I get for myself are
Q scream and / have got . very
bad attack of indigestion, but
you don't need to get excited and
come home, - I am now entirely
recovered.
Ihavs gone to bed at . o'clock
every night since you have been
away except the five nights you
called up via long distance phone,
when It Just happened that I was
busy at the Office on those very
nights, which was very peculiar
that you should have picked out
those nights to call the apart
ment. You should ort to have
called the Office. am almost
worked TO death on account of
30 much extra work, and am all
tired and worn out, but as I am
feeling fine now and fit as q fid-
die, you needn't mind coming
home, as I am getting along fine.
I am sending check which you
requested, which was q few days
late, - I had to hustle around
and get money to put In bank to
cover same before sending, but
please do not worry about ex-
pense and hurry back home on
that account, a. nothing Is toe
good for you, you know that. ]
want you to make q good long
visit.
There IL quite q lot Of sickness
going on around, and 80 I think
1t would be better for you at the
resort for q while yet and then
also, the heat here Is something
awful. Don't pay any attention
to what the papers say about the
weather. tell you It 10 terrible
and I am all In and nothing but
q dishrag, but am feeling fine
and full of pep, and SO dom
worry and think you have got tc
hurry back home. 1t wouldn''
make the weather any cooler fol
me If you was here, SO dom
hurry homo, but make a nice loni
visit.
I win get along somehow, al
though, Of course, I am terrible
lonesome, but don't be in an!
hurry about coming home.
Your loving husband,
HENRY.
