Dear Jennie
next time I write I will likely be able to give you some of my adventures in Lovettsville for I have been detailed to work in the Lov. Bakery at that place. I was down to town this afternoon and seen some very pretty ladies who will likely get acquainted with this chicken before many weeks role around But now Jennie you must not get jealous for I am resolved not to fall in love with any of them, only just for the ocasion.
You asked my advice as to how you should spend your next summer - I am really
surprised to think you would ask me what [deleted: had to] to employ
yourself at when you are better able to judge for yourself. you know your know your circumstances better than I do. So my advice
is to do the best you can

must excuse me for not writing more tonight I must go to the bakery early in the
morning so good night dear girl Good night
Verry Affectionately Yours
Lucius P. Mox
