"to the prettiest girl in Chicago" and another one
"to My Darling Fannie" and the Evening Journal in
commenting on it says hundreds of applicants have
been to the P.O - and that "Fannie" runs a chance of
getting hers but the post master is to be the judge of
the pretty girl before he delivers the letter -
The prisoners are leaving at the rate of 1000
per day - and I am very glad of it - I refrain
from giving you much news for I have a
synopsis in the form of a journal which when
amplificated will make an interesting thing -
Write as often as you can to me - if I could get any
money it should not cost you anything for postage
Oh Celia Sunday is a weary day here. - no services
but work - and bitter, bitter, regrets that I am so
far from you but write and hope believe in
my love, I rely implicitly on yours -
Remember me - your only friend
not that you have none - but you know what
your Richard means!
I am so busy I cannot write any
longer till death Ever yours as
Affectionately as ever
Richard -
