I have been writing this at the store. You dont know how I hate to go home or how I miss you to day. I can keep up pretty well down town. but at home, everything reminds me of you and I dont seem as though I could stand it. my tears are starting again and I must bid you good by once more

I set right down after I got your letter and wrote to you, but as it was Thursday and you could not possibly get it before you wrote to me. I thought I would not send it, I have no idea what I wrote, but will bet it was wild enough, and it is no doubt a good thing I did not send it, Your letter before had made me feel so good. And the last one hit me all the hands on that acct and I dont feel any better the more I think it over. I could just cry any time and have had to stop while I have been at this to wipe my eyes, more than once I have not fealt as if I could ever look at that
