twice a week now it would seem much

better than this.

  I guess you have seen Fay Manwill.

  before now he is helping his father

move to Spanish Fork.  Where the sports

live.

  It is so lonesome here that it is

impossible to content myself altho I am

existing you cant call it living.

  I long for one Kid and the only one that

can fill the place that now seems vacant.

  If I could only impress it on you it

might be different.  But it seems as tho

You were indifferent to my attentions.

  You are the ideal woman to my notion

and I cant get it out of my head.

  There is but one for me and if I

cannot make an impression it is

not my fault.

It gives me great joy to think over the

pleasant evenings that have been spent

at your home.  But could have been

made better on my part.

  There is but little I could say but

when I come down I will attempt

to show you I'm not as bad as I

seem.

  Well Kid it is not with regrets for the

past actions I write but with hopes for the

future.

I will ring off for to night it is getting

    late with hope for an Ans Soon.

I am as ever

     Milt.

Robinson and Mammoth are located here on a map.  North is to the left.

  The first page of this letter is missing, so we don't know where it was written from, or when.  It was written by Milt to Maggie probably early in the year 1911 from Robinson, where Milt was working  in the mines of Tintic.  By its context this appears to be the first of Milt's letters to his future wife.
