Dearest Friend

    As I have had no reply from my last letter will write you again am almost afraid to write for fear you wont get it I should of wrote sooner but have been so busy with my lessons that I dident have time to do any thing else. so you will please excuse me
    I was over at Shermans Sunday Warner and I rode the colts I got "flopped" am as sore as can be.
    Say Kid if you are not coming home for the fair come home soon if you dont I will come out there to see you and bring you home with me so you had better come unless you want me to go after you
    Had a letter from Florence last week she dident say whether she was coming to the fair or not.
    Am getting along fine in school, there is 19 going now. 2 more that I know of are going to start after the fair there will be 40 or 45 when the winter term commences.
    Well Sweetheart I must close for I will have to write to Flo yet. and go to bed for it is getting late Hoping I may see you before you see this. I remain Your True Lover.

    Say kid you dont know how dissappointed I was when I did not get a letter from you I began to think you had forsaken me but guess you had not the last card I got from you was Oct 17. I think it kind of funny that I dident get the mail you sent to me
    Will you let me come over Saturday night now you know you dident catch me with a date somewhere else do you remember what you said before you went away will you tell me Sat night? Well I must close you 'phone me Fri evening so I will know will say good night and pleasant dreams.

Yours forever

Dearest Augusta

    No doubt you thought it verry strange that I dident ask you when I could come back. Well guess I was feeling to awfull bad for anything only try and find out if you realy did care for me which you said you did Augusta dont think me foolish on account of my actions last night no doubt I did act the baby a little but I could not help it to think of every thing that he said was enough to make anybody cry but for you and the love I have for you which is for you only I will stand up reguardless of what is said and will make good. then sweetheart I want to call you my own for if you can comfort me now you can in the future
    did you think when I asked you to Love me that I wanted to marry you now? No sweetheart I cannot now. but I only wish that that you will try and learn to love me for I will never love anyone else. Will you let me call Saturday evening? please let me know
    Well I must close and go to bed for it is getting late Wishing you goodnight and sweet dreams I am still the one who will have you forever

Harry

P.S. I have one thing to ask you which you can answer in your letter or when I call Will you stick to me regardless of what is said about me? in your answer to this I look for my happiness or my despair pleas mak it the first
