My Dear Mollie
Your dear & welcome letter of the 9th came safely to hand I was truly
glad to hear of your good health. I am Sorry you let
Such trifles make you So unhappy you must dismiss
from your mind what happened on my last visit. I love you my love may not show
itself
always on the Surface but deep down in the Chambers
of my heart I love you with all the devotion & fervency of my heart
[page 2]
Did you look for me last Saturday
if you did I hope you was not disappointed for I
think I told you in my last letter it would be very doubtful
about my coming though I would have come if I could
have gotten off from the Store You may look for Magnus
& myself next Saturday for certain if nothing prevents us from coming which I hope
they will not we will Start very Early in the morning
Magnus & myself wants to take a general Fish
that is if McCue
[page 3]
will let us fish in his Run. I hope he will have no
objections to us fishing. Your Pa arrived on yesterday he is quite well & in fine
spirits he will leave for home this Evening. I
Still love you the Same with all the true devotion of my heart & Soul I
love you above all others in this world you are dearer than all others to me I love to be with you & love to think of
you when absent from you. Ella & family are
all well give my love to your Ma Ham & all the Children I love you more
& more every day of my life & send a
loving Kiss to you God bless you good bye
