I would have had him came to the house but he could, [illegible], a week maybe and not find us or St., the [illegible], is exactly like his. I thought you would like to hear them for fun. That is 3 letters I missed from him in a week and will also see him this week, tomorow night.

Dear Jennie:

I just happened to think that I made a mistake in my letter of the 9th instead of Thursday evening, I have put it Wednesday evening. Now in, [I?], view of the fact that you will not reach recieve this explanation in time to keep the engagement, I will have to change it to Saturday evening. Will be at the corner of Seneca and Superiour at 7:30, [illegible], and will wait till you come. Hoping this will meet with you approval.

I remain youry [honor?], C.T.M. C.W.C.
