seemed almost an age since I parted from you. O that fateful night, it seemed as if my heart was breaking then. But, it is not best to despair the sun often shines brighter after a storm. The words of the plaintiff hymn are often wringing in my ear. When shall we meet again, meet never to server.
I am going to Church this evening but it will be lonesome, as it will remind me of you and Home. Good Bye, Write Soon.
From your ever faithful friend,
William A. DeLong
