Insight Into Grandma & John C. McClure

While John McClure was writing Constance two letters in April, 1906, Bill McGill was posing on April 2, 1906, with a few southwest Texas League baseball buddies from the Austin Senators.

That is why this week's insight shows Bill McGill's and baseball buddies, instead of Constance Warwick's photo.

April 16, 1906 -- This one page letter was addressed to Miss Constance Warwick, Alva, O.T., and began, "Alva, O.T. Mon Eve, Miss Constance Warwick. My Dear little Girl:

"I reckon you think I don't love you any more, but I do, and I'm going to come out the first nice night. A week ago yesterday I was not feeling well, but went out Monday eve. When you heard me coming you ran away. I was out to Capron yesterday. Went up Saturday eve, came back last eve. I want you to go with me Friday at the Normal, but will see you before then if I can. So bye bye Sweetness. J. C. McClure"

April 19, 1906 -- This short little note begins, "I don't seem to get you over the phone. I don't know whether I will be able to get out tomorrow or not. I guess I will come out to get you if I can. I don't know whether I can get away from the bank, or if you can come into to Bolte's. So, if I can't get away you will be here. Yours, J. C. McClure."
