| Transcript | Tuesday morning [No return address. Postmarked June 7, 1904] My dear Jim, I got your letter a few minutes ago and what a relief it was to know you are still living. You will never know the agony I suffered since last Saturday evening when your uncle called me up and asked where Jim was. I thought he was joking and passed it off, but when you didn't meet me on Saturday night at church I became anxious and went to see your aunt on Sunday evening. She was sure you met with an accident and oh! how I dreaded the thoughts of of it. We talked of you all the time, and I am afraid you will get a scolding when you come back, but don't you get angry as you know it was a wrong thing for you to go away and not let anyone know where you were going. I am not mad with you, Jim. I am too glad to hear from you and forgive easily and will be more anxious than ever to see you. Well might you picture me with a wet handkerchief, yes, and more than one, but I will tell you all when I see you, and Jim, do hurry up and come as soon as you can. Don't ever run away with the idea that I like you better far away. You know that is not so. Well now that's about all I will say. You will get no more scolding from me, for I will be too glad to see you. Do hurry up and come. I will stay in every night this week so you can come right out here and I will not take as long to come down stairs as the night I was washing my hair. Telephone me as soon as you come here. Give my love to Pollie and all and lots of it for yourself. I am As ever, Your old Annie xxxx |
