This week's insight into Grandma & John's letters brings us up to February 9 & 26, 1906, Alva, Oklahoma Territory.

February 9. 1906 -- John's short letter is handwritten in ink on The First National Bank letterhead, and begins, "Miss Constance Warwick, Connie, Okla. The envelope is addressed to Miss Constance Warwick, R.F.D., Alva, Okla.

The body of the letter begins, "Dear Connie, I rec'd your letter today. I did not hardly expect to ever hear from you again. I am very sorry that I can not except your invitation to come out Sun. I promised my sister to come up to Capron since I have only seen her about three minutes. We were going out last Sunday but it was to cold. You know I can not stand the cold.

I will come out a week from Sunday though, but you must write me a long letter in the meantime, and tell me how I must behave. You must not forget that I like, well you know. Lowe is going to California soon. I amy go along. Write me a long letter Sunday. Jno McClure."

February 26, 1906 -- This one-page ether addressed to Miss Constance Warwick, RFD, Alva, Oklahoma Territory, it begins, "Alva, O.T., Sun. Eve, Miss Constance Warwick, Connie, O.T.

"Dear Connie, I will write you a little letter this Eve., but did not know for sure whether you would be at home or in town. I saw you yesterday Eve in town, but you disappeared so quick that I did not get to see you.

"I thought perhaps I would have a chance to take you home. I was out to my sister's the 22nd. Had a big time. Please write me a long letter this week some time. Yours Lovingly, Jno."
