sympathize with me ile he has heard I 1 have another fellow and that I 1 like this other fellow better than him and that I 1 am going to quit him the first time he comes over ile he lives twenty milea from here before I 1 knew about what he had heard I 1 wrote him a letter inviting him over to a dance he neither answered the letter nor came to the dance I 1 am going away to school within the next two weeks I 1 would surely like to see him before leaving but I 1 don dont like to write to him aguin again when he answer the last letter I 1 wrote him now please tell me what you think would be best to do ile he is a real nice fellow he smoke he any bad habits and has always treated me as well as a girl could expect but he just think I 1 like him I 1 know that part of it for a fact he is going on

help it and it is is his privilege to do so not yours to tell him you have a right to have other friends if you are not engaged to this one and if he loved you he would be very careful not to believe anything he be was not sure of if he received your letter he should have been gentleman enough to ani awer ver it regardless of misunderstandings perhaps he did not receive it in that case you might write him a note telling him you are going away ile he seems to be a worthy young man and as such should be shown every courtesy but not to the extent of sacrificing your dignity I 1 do sympathize
