Letter and poem read,
"want for you an that. I hope you are well Sweetheart and all at home of course. I feel fine and dandy. Sent Babe Franks bag back with a wonderful suit of clothes packed inside for Babe. It was too large for me and rather loud the kind you don't like me to wear. It sells for $55 I bought it from a salesman for $25. So I thought it would mean more at home as a suit to wear rather than peddle it around and try to make 5 or 10 dollars which was possible. Alright honey? Just the thing for my brother Babe if he is behaveing himself. And Sweetheart when you come to Chicago and you need anything in the fur line why you and I will go over to St Paul to a
Then I think of times that I spent in your arms
With your warm ruby lips pressed to mine
If you only could know how I miss all your charms
And how for you your beansie does pine.
And I think of you as the seconds they tick
From the clock that hangs on the wall
Until night time comes round, then my pen up I pick
To write, you, the sweetest of all.
Then I think of you while I write my dear
Cause you're inspiration so fine
Oh what I'd give to have you right near
You're my Sweetheart and angel divine
Then I think of you when its time to retire
As into my bed I creep
'Tis then that my fondest thoughts of desire,
Of you angel, that puts me to sleep.
Then I think of you while I'm dreaming
Such wonderful thoughts dear heart
Of the good things I'm planning and scheming
As soon as good business will start
Then I think of the morrow that comes again
Please God I awaken next morn:
To start my thinking all over again
And to find you here with the dawn
Mosey"
