April 8th
My dearest Fannie,
Your dandy letter to hand and was glad to here from my lover. Your letter to hand of April 6th and the letter you wrote on Sunday were the only two letter I got so far this week. I mean the letter where your mother had written in and the letter of April 6th which you wrote Tuesday now either you wrote a letter Monday and i did not get it from your letter today I read that you wrote me a letter Monday. If you did same went lost, because yesterday i did not get any letter from you dear but figured that uncle sam is very busy and that is why I did not get the letter but expected it today but only got your letter which you wrote Tuesday if cause you can tell me when you see me if you wrote + ect if it got lost. Well derar I expect two letter from you that is April 7-8th and you will get this letter Saturday and I will write my last letter Friday and try and get it Sunday before I get there. The mail service is slow on ????? of the express strike. I expect a letter from home today but did not get it but I will get same tomorrow. Well dear it was 9pm when I eat my supper. I went to the barber shop and had to wait so long. So I must write this letter in a hurry so i get it away on tonight mail. Dear we have the half side of the store rented to a German fellow by the name of G Mein. He siped it by real nice and is a clean fellow, he called it a good shop. It makes the store look much better than when we had the ???? ???? man in, the love sick man was teasing me to beat the land. I told him when you get here you will give it to him. I was talking with one of our customer today they she and her husband were at hot springs and they were there for four weeks. They stoped at the Eastman Hotel and paid 2000 per day. Some price not for a workman like me. Well when I come we will plan a place to go. SO it has time till i come there. Yes Richard said take the boat and go to Florida. You tell Richard that if I had his money well perhaps I could make that trip but not on my beer income haha.
Well dear only two more day until you will be waiting at the church for your only. Well honey I sure will be waiting at the church for your only. Well honey I sure will be glad to see you and I hope we will always be together because we love each other so very much and that is why we long so much to be with each other.
Yes dear I will have Mrs White take care of the mail.
Well dear I hope you all enjoy the show dad took you to see last night I talked to Jack and I thought he would come up to see me today but I did not see him but I expect to see him before I go away. I bet he wish he could come along with me because he said when I get married he wanted to be at the wedding if cause now that he is married that make a difference in his life the love sick man just come in my room and seen the pink paper and he said he is using pink paper. He think that is classy paper or stationary. Well dear this is not a very interesting letter but I done my best in a hurry and to try and make it a long letter. Give my love to all and oodles and oodles of love hugs and kisses from your only. David.
