H.B. Sutton to Maggie Trueblood, 1872

                            Dec, the 25th 1872

Dear Miss Maggie
   I Suppose you think my promises are indeed like pie crust made to be broken 
but I can assure you such is not the case, and as I promised to write you I 
will now make good that promise, and sincerely hope that I may gain back the 
favor of your esteem, and may I not say love, for if you know how much I have 
suffered within the past three or four weeks in regard to your answer which I 
had so fondly hoped would be in my favour, that I know 
your simpathising nature would pity me and I hope reconsider the matter and 
make me a happy man by saying you will be all my own.
   I know that marriage is a matter that we should well consider befor we 
enter into its holy bonds and that happiness in after life depends on whether 
our love is of that purity that the changes through which we must pass cannot 
deface, And now Miss Maggie I can safely say that if you can trust your 
happiness in my keeping, it shall be sacredly guarded with the love of a true 
and faithful heart.
   Hoping that you will not keep me long in suspense, but will answer 
immediately and favorably I remain
                            Yours truly & Sincerely
                            H. B. Sutton 
                            (Note: Henry Baker Sutton)
