Transcription

July 30, 1909 I have been so busy ever since I was in Vicksburg that I haven't had a spare moment but want to write you a letter and tell you a whole lot of things that I have thought about you--really this is true. I received your card and was more than delighted to hear from you. I am going to visit Vicksburg again before very long. Be sure and let me know when you will be in jackson. I am yours sincerely, E. D. Greaves
