Dear Augusta
While you
are enjoying yourself in company of others
(you know who I mean) I am in my lonliness but not for long for I am
going to be in company before long (I mean the bed)
How did
you get over the fair? I got over the fair allright but havent got over
the opera yet. Am still stage-struck ha' ha"
I was
never more surprised in my life than I was this
morning when I awoke it was raining was glad to see it rain and was
sorry too for it spoiled the plans Georgia and I made last night on the
court house steps if you dont understand ask me and I will tell you Sat
night
What time
do you think it was when I got home last
night just 4.00 A M 20 hours with out sleep but no diff. When it is
with you.
You must
think think I am a good protector of Coure
you will ask why because first you left in my pocket your gloves then
your money then your combs and now your whip is in my buggy. I will
protect what ever I have of yours and you too when your are with me
"I'll just make a note of this" ha' ha"
Oh say
kid there is to much band music here for me to
write three pieces have started and hard telling when they will stop so
I will ring off for this time.
Good
night and Sweet dreams
Your True Friend
Harry
Wide is the land
Deep is the sea
And in Your arms
I love to be
That is wher I wish to be Sat night
knud ld me sgd umqke hr lhmd study this
