be happy and I hope so to[o]. This is going to be short but I think I’ll have time to write to morrow [sic] morning becaus[e] down at the office where I used to be a clerk all the records seem to be mixed up and they want me to fix them up. I love you and I hope that you’ll be satisfied with me. The PY [?] closes early to night [sic] and I need some aper. I love you and always will. As Ever
