My dearest Leonard.

I received your letter dearest, and feel very unhappy tonight. I only wished that you had me, in a room alone, I would not care where I would be as long as I was only away from here. Because I am very unhappy Leonard now to be home any more.

I think Leonard you and I will after, give up things because I love you so but its a case I can't help it.

If I give up Leonard I shall never forget you and often think, of you dearest but I can't stand it any longer, to be home, and get treated the way, I am had been getting lately, because Len, I am terribly unhappy and I can't help it dear, to tell you. And its come to the point, I must tell you. So I think I better settle down with Eddie, its a case I would sooner be with you. But its awful to be home, and hear such remarks, so Lenard I hope this will not unset you dear, it is that I want Eddie that bad but its a case to get away from home, and its a good chance.

And to think, how sick I have been, and what I went through, and always, hearing something. If its not Grace home, adn getting insults its, Ma or Pa, if its not hear, its Emily, so what can, I do for the best, then they, will all get me hear, and you no how sick, I felt last week, and upcasting to me, Lenard, never wants you, only for past time, so you see Len, I am very tender hearted, and the least, little thing, makes me feel very bad. So you see that it come to this, that I am going to make a change, I can't, help it Lenard, but I no things will turn out alnight, because I will do everything for my part to make Kip happy, and also make myself happy. Well dearest I will after come to a close, but could write you alright, but just the same I feel very unhappy. So I say good-night.

Dearest lovingingly yours,
ALICE.
