C.R. Thompson to Katherine Fletcher, 1888 May 10
Primary tabs
Your very kind letter received and accepted. I am as you see by my adv a music
teacher I teach Piano, Violin, Guitar, and Cornet. I am engaged this season by a
Brass Band in Secor my native town. I traveled last season but being a lover of
home accepted a situation here. My Father owns a large farm near town and is in
well to do circumstances. I am his only heir. I have considerable property
myself so you see I am not compelled to teach music
but do so because
I like it. I do not belong to any church but might by the influence of a dear
friend. I am strictly temperant but smoke a cigar occasionaly. Regarding your
mail, may I suggest that you get a box in your Post Office by which you will be
able to get your own mail. prehaps I had better send photo with my next. I know
of nothing to write that would interest you this time so if this strikes you
favorably will try and make it more interesting later. you may address your
letters to
