@letter_aug_29_1896_2 -> mentions -> @thompkinsvilleThursday My dear old Alice, Your letter received ten M. ago. This is nothing more than I expected and planned for. I will be down tomorrow noon. Good luck to you.
Sunday My dear Alice, All goes so far. So glad to receive your letters. Fortunately the Pater does not have to pay R.R. fare on this trip or we would be out. Wilson goes along. I stopped just now to ask her
an envelope to you. A very near clap of thunder spoilt the end of your last name. There is more thunder. Trunks are all away and we take 7:55 that tomorrow. D.T. Write to Cazenovia Madison or New York. More anon. off. v.
CAZENOVIA CLUB, CAZENOVIA, N.Y. Tuesday morning Aug 17th 1894 My dear Alice, Top of the morning to you. My father is at the Doctor's across the way. Journey delightful. Every body so kind here. Put up on the boat and invited for a sail last night. Country beautiful temperature most
comfortable. I send letters to Cazenovia P.O. (next door to our hotel.) as we are only here for 2 weeks we are not in a cottage. The lake is beautiful, and DZ— is so very thoughtful. I will tell you all about it later. With love, F.
for him easily. I took a golf lesson from a professional who was here this morning. I was out three hours on the links altogether. I am the reddest thing you ever saw just now, and redoler. I must find my father and make him take me for a row. Mr. K. came for me for a sail just at lesson time this A.M.—such is life. The lake is 6 m l.m. and good fun in a small boat. CAZENOVIA CLUB, CAZENOVIA, N.Y. Wednesday My dear Alice, The Unit is just not be sprinkled with meal preparatory to a leaf your douse this evening. I am out of it of course. We leave here on Sat. Every one has been so nice I shall hate to leave. It has done Papa some good and a longer stay would do more
As for Lancaster I fear I can't go as I must look after my Dad. However I shall see the Doctor again. The wheeling here is fine. Pits I can't favor have arrived (5 P.M) and people are fixing things. Larrie is better, much better. The horse seems to get along somehow from Daisy's account. And we are quietly happy here. Write me your plans and how and what you are up to. With love, Violet- P.S. Harper's chest arrived all right.
CAZENOVIA CLUB, CAZENOVIA, N.Y. Aug 29th, 1896 My dear Alice, Letter from you this morning with your new address. Write to me do. But don't say I have not written for I have written quite regularly for me. We leave here tomorrow and you must send your next.
To Thompkinsville. Don't stay away too long for I shall miss you terribly. Affeet. V.
