| Transcript | Monday [No return address. Postmarked East Liberty Station June 27,1904] My dear Jim, Another Sunday has come and gone and you don't seem a bit nearer. Now I am at a loss to know just what I will do as tomorrow will be my last day here, but the lady has asked me to stay as long as I could with her but she will leave here on Thursday. When I got your last letter I surely thought you would be here on Friday night, and how I did wait for you, but goodness knows how many more nights I must wait. If I only knew just what to do I wouldn't mind, but as I am, it is just hard to say anything now. I don't know if you will settle down here when you come or if you will want to wait a while longer. Of course, Jim, it is just as you wish it. Only if I knew, I wouldn't worry, as you see after this week I will not be working and that means a good deal of expense. Mrs. B. wants me to spend a few days with her, so when you come back you will find me either here or with the Brennans. Mrs. B. has been my only friend since you left, and I certainly will not forget her. I want you to wire me just as soon as you get this if only a few words to say what you are doing. If you do it right away, it will reach me here. Wednesday will be the 29th June. What does that remind you of? If you had stayed here, I'm sure we would both be more interested in looking for it, but perhaps it was all for the best as there is another 29th. I am writing this under difficulties so excuse the mistakes. Now, Jim, I will ask you please wire me as soon as you get this. Tell me what to do and when you are coming. I wish you were going to settle down there and send for me. Then I would be happy as that was always the height of my ambition. Well, I must hurry as the postman is coming and don't worry about the pin. If everything was as easily remedied, it would be easy. I will replace it. Now let me know as soon as you can. I am waiting. The same address will find me. So now, dear Jim, must finish with ever fondest love to you, am your old Annie |
