Good morning my Dear one,
How art the this morning. I hope fine. I sleep till quite late. It was about 10 am when I got up. Then I washed my selfe and went into Mr. Judy room and had some (????). The days of real effort he wanted to know how you are. And I wanted to know how his friend was. You know the one from Maryville Kansas so he wanted to know when I was going to Coffeyville and wanted I wanted to know when he was going to Marryville.
It looks like rain for the rest of the day. I have so many letters to write so I think I will get them wrote so they will be off my hand.
We were very busy at the store so I am tired and stiff from yesterday.
I was laiding in bed thought about youwas wondering if you were in bed yet or if you were up and what are going to do to pass the Sunday around I think if I were there it would not be so lonesome for you. Do you think you would get lonesome if I were there today or all the time.
My folks are well pleased with you and want to see you they want to know when we are coming East and I should bring you along but they don’t say where they (????) I can’t travel on my looks.
However my money is mostly tied up as you know. Say dear you write home to my sister if you get time. My dad went over to new york to help my bro out for about three or four weeks so my sister said it so lonesome only mother and sister at home in such a big house.
I going to write home you know dear I had a letter from home yesterday and last week was the first time I wrote home for a long time and my sister said I should wrote home more often because mother does not like it. She is cranky if I don’t write. So I must write once every week. I going to write home when I am through with your letter because if that pleases mother, I will write every week. You know dear all the years I was in Chicago there never was a week that I didn’t write home or get a letter from home. But on account of sister being here I would let the writing up to her. Because I had you to write too. Which too my whole evening.
Your letter come to me at noon yesterday and just thing I could not find a minute time to read it to see what my Fanny has in it. So it was 10pm last night till I got time to read it. How are all your folks and how is the business. What do your Bro say about you and me. So Ben took the letter that you was going to send to me and he wanted to see what kind of mush we write each other.
Well I must call up your Aunt and let her know that we are coming out tonight. How I wish you were here so you could go with us. well the time will come. So just be patience everything will be OK. Mr. Judy send sends regards and my folks want to be remembered, also my sister. So I will bring this letter to a close form you only with Love and kisses.
To my only little girl,
Dave
