Omaha, Neb. Miss E. L. Tarver My most kind one. It gives me pleasure to drop you this little message. These few lines finds me in a very sad mood this morning, am at my room all alone and no where to go. It is a very cloudy day also. I was to have gone out on the road this morning, but my car failed to present me opportunity therefore I think I will go to church and maybe I can find some consloance there. You cannot imagine how joyously and eager I am to rec. your sweet little messages. O how it pains me to be away from a little girl that helps to keep the gloom out of my miserable life. I guess I am justified in using the word miserable for the reason that not being surrounded with the luxories and inviorments that real life gives to youth when they are more to each other than mere lovers. Thats is just the very reason that life doesnt mean very much to me at present. You will have to excuse this poor scratching for I am not my real self this glorious and gloomy morning. I related to you in one of my letters as my eyesight wasnt the best but I didnt mean that they were failing me. I was only speaking of the strain the night lights had upon them oh no my lamps are quite bright yet and eaven if I should lose my sight intirely I could be able to see your sweet little face again, that is if you would let me come near you. I had some snapshots made but have not gotten them out as yet because I told the photographer to make a good job at them. I will be tickled to death to rec. one of yours and donot wait for mine for it is well on the way you said in your last letter to me that you would grant me anything that I desired now I want one of your pictures. It gives me great inspirations to have a cute little girlie like you sitting on my bureau to greet me when I come in off of my trip. No indeed no one is do dear to me Elizabeth as you are and donot get it into your mind. If you have it in your mind that way please get it our for my sake wont you dear? Of course there may be some little pinch back guy giving me a run with you but he will have to take to heels when I return, did you get that? I didnt write it in french. O course I know and realize this fact that you have other friends quite naturally so, but that doesnt mean you have got to be the world and all to them. I go out once and a while for a little recreation to dances and the other places of ammusement but I make em stay a certain distance from me you follow me do you not? Well Libby dear I will ring off for this time as I feel some what relived than what I did when I first started writeing you. Earl Bleviset sends his best regards he is playing here out at some park with a orchestra from Chicago. With best regards to your mother and Miss Gussie hope to get a vacation and drop in to give you all a brief visit. Bon swaar as ever I wish to remain Sincere indeed. Westley
