Transcribed from a letter in my possession.....written to Eugenia Bridges from 
Jessie E. Register.....

Newnan, Ga.

Dec. 23d “1883”

Darling Friend,

I recieved your sweet letter. And you can’t imagine how glad I was to get it . 
You asked me what I had for you. It was a beautiful box of Flowers that I had 
gotten for you. I did all in my power to get them to you. Marian sent me your 
note by a boy it was after train time when I received the note or I would have 
sent them. For I was nearly crazy for you to have them they were so pretty as I 
have ever seen. Brother John Lester but cried since you left. I did not get to 
speak to him then. But I will send him the violets for you. You asked me if 
Brother John was as sweet as ever. Oh Yes. I really can’t tell which is the 
prettiest, the nicest.....John, Andrew or David. But I believe I think David. I 
just think he is, he is, the Boss Boy. Don’t you think so? I like Andrew and 
John both splendid. You haven’t gone back on Marian have you? He told me he was 
going to spend Christmas in Grantville, Ga. I do hope you and Rosa? will have a 
joyous time at the party Christmas. I want to have a nice time but Andrew has 
gone back on me. So has David, isn’t that bad. Don’t you sympathise with me? I 
know you do.

I would be delighted to attend Rosa’s party if it was possible but it will be 
an impossibility for me to go. Think of me while you are happy that night. And 
talk to David for me too. I never do get to see him ever. I heard he is loving 
Miss Nettie May Ansley. I don’t know how true it is..speck it’s so.

If Gena I had an invitation to a big ball & sociable given at Palmetto last 
Friday night and to a party given in the 
county.................................Papa wou.........................to 
either.............have killed me. Two young men were coming after me to carry 
me to the ball but I had to refuse to go. Dear Gena Do please come back here to 
school. ..............You must. Come up and spend a while with me. Do Please I 
just loves you lots...

Well Dear Gena I recon you are tired of this droll epistle so I will close. 
Hoping you will write soon again to your

Devoted Friend

Jessie E. Register

My Girl Rosa...........................for me to 
accept .......................................your..............................
