Letter from Nelle Stewart to Roxey Roach

Date1911 June 24
DescriptionA 6-page letter with envelope (not shown) written by Nelle Stewart to Roxey Roach, June 24, 1911. It is handwritten on both sides of 3 pages. Her salutation is "My Own Dear Boy" and says she's been thinking a lot about his last letter, he is thinking of attending social dances. It bothered her so much that she told her mother everything and showed her the letter. She writes that her mother understood and thought Nelle should not wait until December since it looked like Wilbur needed her now. She writes that she was being selfish in making plans only thinking of herself. She will marry him sooner but since she spent her money on the piano, she has no money for a wedding. She tells him they could marry in the middle of August and no one need know except immediate families. She says they could go hunting at the beginning of the season and then maybe he can get with the basketball team. She writes that if he does not approve of the plan, to let her know. She signs the letter "Love me Wilbur, and I shall always be, Sincerely, Your own, Nelle." Enclosed in the letter was a piece of lace.
