Abstract:
Hopes he isn’t being too forward, as they have just recently met. “…reminds me of what Granney use to tell me when I was young; that all boy babys born on friday was to be luckey in getting a pretty wife and in raising hogs.” Comments on other men courting her. “I will plead to you for mercy in the sweet accents of a bursting pumpkin and say Dear Lissie sorty like a snoaring hog in a shuck pen. Will you decend to condescend to give me one sweet ----.” Written on the back of a partly printed receipt for the Holstein Woolen Co., and featuring an image of a sheep.
