North Pond, Weston Cemetary

Miss Katie Dear Friend. I am not yet dead. There is a dance in Weston Weston Ohio. Wish it was so I could go but I guess not unless I make it late. Dawson.

This is postmarked from Weston, Jan 12 3PM, but the date is somewhat illegible. My guess is 1909. I am wondering as I post this correspondence for the world to see, if my relations would approve. Not that i'm disillusioned to think that a lot of people are reading, but there is an element of voyeurism here. I have looked through this book many times, but i've never taken the cards out to read them.

This has no signature and it is postmarked from Milton, Ohio, Feb 1909

My Darling from Gilboa, O.

2/5, MCMJX, It is great doings only a little bit bad getting around but I hope it will be better soon - I am the Candy Kid ha,ha But you are sweeter than that in fact you are just "It". If the roads keep on I don't know about coming over but you know how crazy I am so it will have to be "you know," I would like to see you tonight but not likely I will. But all the same, it is fun for "The Kids", Love to the whole family, Edward. (sideways text) Now quit you funning with me see.
I'm not sure if Kathryn placed these cards chronologically, or in some other sequence of significance. Gilboa is a small town with a winery and a limestone quarry.
