Laura, I am tired and sleepy and you know do not like to keep late hours and will close before daylight. hoping you will excuse my short letter, I feel lost since I left you. I have not that warm kiss to receive from your lips to night, but will think of you the more if possible. I will not be satisfied till I can be with you and call you mine. this may be wrong but if so I am innocent. My heart tells me so, we will be one and happy

 

remember me kindly to all your family. please write soon.

 

            I remain yours in love and truth
