Insight Into Grandma

This week's letter from John McClure to Miss Constance Warwick takes us back to March 3rd, 1904, Quincy, Ill. It is postmarked Quincy, Ill., Mar. 4 2-PM 1904 and addressed to Miss Constance Warwick, Alva, Okla.

Dear Connie, I received your letter day before yesterday, and will answer so you will get it Saturday.

Three letters a month. Some terrible. Say, Connie, read that letter again, and see if you did not forget to answer some questions. I believe you did. I was disappointed.

It has been cold today. some snow fell last night. Was real sorry that Nellie had to run away from home. Why did you not tell me how that dialogue came of.

I would like to accepted your kind invitation. Say who is Grace. I believe she is a new one on me. Where is B. Knox now. You had better come to Q'cy. Take S. H. instead of making so many air castles.

I suppose getting married will be your next air castle. Better not. I and B. quit writing as friends.

It was nice that we can, better we should. I am going into dictation now in a few days. Won't I be happy. I have not got that letter that you sent to Altona, but think I will. When are you going to St. Louis.Mebby I will go. You girls surely do work those fellows. You must want to be old maids.

Well as it is 11 o'clock I will close. This is quite a mix up, but the quality of the writing will make up for it. The fellow also. I will try and do better next time.

Answer the question I asked in the last part of my letter. WRite soon. I demand 31 letters this month for my spiritual welfare. Your Friend, J. C. Mc, 524 North 9th ST., Q'cy, Ill.
