Farmerville, LA 
 
Dear Miss "Clare", 
 
   Enclosed please find your photograph and letters returned as requested. I 
confidentially (ask) the same favor at your hands. As it is your desire, I 
assure you that it is my pleasure to now close our correspondence. 
 
   May your future ever be strewn with Eden's fairest , loveliest and sweetest 
flowers. Your life a continuation of religion, purity and innocence. Your fair 
brow crowned with "Excelsior" and your rose-twited cheeks fanned by the purest 
refreshing Zephyrs of dear "Little City" discuss in the " time shall be no more" 
and your earthly pilgrimage shall leave ended. May you meet a happy and glorious 
acceptance with "Our Father who ask in Heaven", and crowned with the angels of 
that bright and beautiful "Home over there" for which the lovely stars nightly 
blossom as their beautiful "Forget-me nots"is the wish of you ever sincere. 
 
					Friend, 
 
					Jas. M. Smith 
 
P. S.  
	Goodbye
