Hear Amy Read this Letter

No Envelope

No Date or Place

Miss Lizzie Heilman:


Dear Friend:

I was agreeably surprised to hear from you. In regard to next Thursday evening, would say: That owing to a previous engagement, I must decline (much as I hate to,) your kind invitation.

Your display of energy in regard to “leap year,” is commendable and if all the young ladies would do like-wise, a degree of independence would be established. Hoping to hear from you again, and hoping that you will write soon and let me know when I might conveniently call. I will have to close my letter.

How is Julia and your other sister? I hope they are well. Give my regards and compliments to all.

Your Friend

J. J. Reinnagel

(No “Jr.” after it)


Excuse delay in writing as I did it at the first opportunity 

JJR

  Hear Amy Read this Letter Envelope: Miss Lizzie Heilman 384 Broadway Buffalo, NY                   Fredonia Jan. 21, 1892 Dear Swartz Why don’t you write and let us know whether you are alive or not. How did you get home, and what time did you leave Dunkirk. Nothing new only we have time sleighing. Before I forget will you please send me the pattern of the leggens you spoke about and when you have a tassel made for Mr. Sautter please have one made for me. Liz you know the baby was sick when you saw him. He is better since his teeth are through. He had 6 at once and I expect 2 more, no wonder he was sick. Charlie is sitting her smoking enough to smoke sardines. He said to give you his love and you give mine to George. I’ll get even on it. Lizzie give my regards to all the family and love to you. Good night. Hoping to hear from you soon.   ...

It’s too bad you did not feel like going for I am sure we would have had a good time. But I there alone what fun could I have had. I met Mr. Popp of Syracuse he was as full of fun as always.

I have decided to go and see Unbehaun tonight and if he is willing to put in the fixture, Otto and I will take it. Otherwise it will remain as it is. I saw Geo. S. yesterday and told him I have not yet decided. He didn’t say much about it. I think he’s feeling blue. I hope you are having a good time at home. Saw wood and say nothing. If you can advise me different from what I have written you let me know. A man told me yesterday good advice is cheap. It costs nothing. I will meet you tonight. Walk out ? . Good Bye Ted - Geo
