Dear Miss Lydia

      Your most welcome letter just recieved and as ever glad to hear from You  will answer atonce.    Oh yes I did think about you two I expect just about the time you were working I w was talking about you I showed your picture   they said you sertainly was good lookingand I said your are right    how hard I often think of you and the times we had together they were the plesantist moments of my    

      life I often think of them with a smile and long for such a nother time     Oh yes Floyd has some attraction  in for Joh Hall and some body else will     you know who I guess it is a fellow they call Ell Bones over here ha ha      Joh + I will be over in may then when he said he was going and I will wait untill he goes I dont like to take such a long ride without somebody with me to keep me company     while on the way I think we will not dud any body after we get to Hylton will we    of you can talk like you useto when you were over I think that will do 

      for you sertainly are a good talker I wish you were here now to chat me as you say.   What did Mr White do to Miss Lura to make her mad.   he said he could not imagine what she was mad about he said he had not m done any thing.

It sertainly does make me feel good whenyou say not to be uneasy that you would not do me that way.   it realy makes me happy, for I sertainly w will not do you like that 

      If Mr White made short of Miss Lura letters she did exactly right I would had done the same he talked to me like he did not care any way, as if to say he and Miss Grace would soon get married      I think as for White he will marry but some times I think she wont have him I may be mistaken but that is my opinion of the Case     Well I Can a gree with you about you hoped no body would run off with cousin Albert     may be they wont have to run off things will work all O.K.    

      It seems that Sunday before last was noted for bad luck and you got left     Well make a mark some whare or the wall but I can sympathize with you. I had one thought to console me and that was I still had the pleasure of corresponding with you what a blessed thought it was in time of need    I am all O.K. now since I received a letter from     You it sertainly was a real nice one     You say Laura loved me if she did She has a queer way of

      showing it dont you think so. She done me worse than I told you one thing made her mad     Was I show Mr. Hall your pictures but what of that Yes Miss Crockett has gone back. But she did not

make me feel much better       Not halfe as much as the thought of you as my friend           Honestly I think more of you than any girl I know you are first and foremost with me      This is the truth if I ever spoke it or wrote it

Yes Joe and Laura moved Monday I took dinner with them today. They had a real nice dinner.

      You said for me to give your love to Mother and Ida I have a good [crossed out] notion

to keep it all haha      Well as it is getting late I will close give my love to Miss Lura and as you said save a good potion for your selfe -- all ifyou choose

Yours Loveing

Ell

Write soon.
