half a mind to throw a stone as it is, and kill
five barn door fowls, but I wont, I'll be considerate! Miss Susie was here on
Friday, was here on Saturday, and Miss Emilie, there, on Thursday. I suppose
you will go to the "Hygeum" as usual, this evening. Think it a dreadful thing
for a young man under influences to frequent a hotel evenings! Am glad our
Pilgrim Fathers got safely out of the way, before such shocking times!
Dear
Austin, I am keen, but you are a good deal keener, I am something of a
fox, but you are more of a hound! I guess we are very good friends tho', and I
guess we both love Sue just as well as we can.
You
needn't laugh at my letter—it's a few Variations of
Greenville I thought I would send to you.
Affy
Emilie.
Love from us all. Monday
