Dear Friend.
Well there is one fellow in Union
Township that
I feel bad for and that is Bill Moore, wanting a girl to go with him to
the dance then to say what she did. why that is awful just
think of her and Bill going to Columbus dont think there is any danger
do you? ha! ha!!
I would like to know who that person was
that you would liked to of taken a buggy ride with that Sunday evening.
How was Endeavor Sunday night? I was
sorry that
I dident get to go I thought it was going to rain and I was just a
little bit sleepy too. I suppose Will T was there, wanting to call
on you. he was asking me Saturday how the boys and girls were geting
along. had a notion to tell him "better than when he was around".
How would it suit you to go to Palermo
Sunday
night? I heard that they was going to have something great over there.
If they dont we can go to League. dont expect I will be at
church Sunday you can let me know through Saturdays mail.
Oh gee. I am as sore as an old race horse
have
been working the roads all week. run the scraper today, told the men if
I got my neck broke all I would ask them to do would be to
bury me. Jo Booth said if I got killed they would take care of you now
what do you think of that. I havent got a minute's rest since I
commenced to work.
Every body has gone to bed but me and I
guess I had better go too
I suppose you will have some other young
fellow
stepping in Sat. night ha! ha!! as for me the bed will see me in good
time. Wishing you Good night and sweet dreams I still
remain
Your True Friend.
HSH.
PS. Hope you can go Sunday night. H.

Dear Friend.
This
evening finds me with pencil in hand to answer my
true
and
best friend's letter.
I
suppose by this time (Tues evening) you people are through thrashing.
wish we was for I do not like the dust.
Oh
say? what have you done that made it so easy
for me to quit chewing and smokeing? I will tell you. do you remember
what you said at Pleasant Hill Sunday night a week. "Think of me when
you go to smoke". that is just what I did. I know it is your wish that
I quit those habits so I am going to.
I
have had an awful time with one of my eyes. hurt me so bad that I could
not work this forenoon. is better this evening.
Are
you going to have your birthday party or have you gave it up. Kuhn
wanted me to ask you and was anxious to know myself
About
going to Palermo. I expect to see you at
the church some evening this week. And if I dont will call you over the
'phone Friday evening. Can go any time in forenoon, afternoon, or any
other time just when-ever you want to go.
Well
I suppose you will go to Palermo and run around with John Reed.
(Ha Ha) or else not. all right you can go with him while I play ball if
you want to. do you think you will want to.
Well
I will have to close or you will get tirde reading this and will say in
your next letter R.S.V.P.
So
I will bid my
best friend Good night, and
Sweet
dreams. I Still remain.
Your True
Friend.
Harry.

Dear Friend.
This
fine evening finds me writing to my best friend. it is getting so dark
that I can hardly see the lines.
Did
you tell Alfred that we were to come over to
your place next Sunday? I met him Sunday night when I was comeing home
he ask me if you said anything about it to me.
The
girls called Bill T up and told them "not to
come," so they went to town to see some girls Bill said "Alfred just
set and looked"
Do
you know of any thing going on that we can go
to I would like to make arraingments to go some place and be
disappointed (oh dear) again (ha ha)
Bill
told me today that he was trying to get
Golda Alensworth to come over and give a talk at the temperance meeting
think he is dead gone on her maby he will let you alone hope so any how.
Smith's
told me to come up this evening and they would give me all the melons I
could eat wish you was here to go along
Will have to close
for the lamp is going out Hope you will pardon me for not writing
sooner I still remain
Your True Friend
Harry.
