Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was detained in St. Louis longer than I expected, and to make time pass pleasantly I visited with Joe Shurds and had a long talk about the usual topics. Nothing in particular, but matters generally.
#2 Julia’s brother, Frederick T. Dent, was a second lieutenant in Grant’s regiment, the 4th Infantry. Her father, Frederick F. Dent, was a military title holder. Her mother, Ellen Wrenshall Dent, was a teacher.
#3 I wrote the letter you wanted me to, and which I have long thought was a duty to write. You can barely imagine the embarrassment I felt in writing such a letter, even in beginning the first line. You must not laugh at it Julia, for you have the opportunity to read it before it is delivered.
#4 The letter that Mr. Porter was waiting for was from Mark Twain. He was postmaster, and he asked that Mark Twain write him again, as he wanted to know if the letters were for him.

#1

I was detained in St. Louis longer than I expected, and to make time pass pleasantly I visited with Joe Shurds and had a long talk about the usual topics. Nothing in particular, but matters generally.

#2

Julia’s brother, Frederick T. Dent, was a second lieutenant in Grant’s regiment, the 4th Infantry. Her father, Frederick F. Dent, was a military title holder. Her mother, Ellen Wrenshall Dent, was a teacher.

#3

I wrote the letter you wanted me to, and which I have long thought was a duty to write. You can barely imagine the embarrassment I felt in writing such a letter, even in beginning the first line. You must not laugh at it Julia, for you have the opportunity to read it before it is delivered.

#4

The letter that Mr. Porter was waiting for was from Mark Twain. He was postmaster, and he asked that Mark Twain write him again, as he wanted to know if the letters were for him.

#5

I wrote to your parents, but they did not answer my letter. I thought I should hear from you again, as I had so much affection for you and your family during my stay at the Jeff. Bks. The more than ordinary attachment I had for you all cannot be changed by a few months’ absence.

#6

Mr. Hazlitt has returned from visiting his family in St Louis. He has got a little pony about the size of the one I had at Jeff. Bks. It is a little Jim a long Josy of a thing and if you were to see it, you would think it was going to drawl out y-e-s im hisn just as Mr. Hazlitt does himself.

#7

I am at Camp Salubrity, just in time for the season. I am here just in time; one day later, I would have probably an excuse to write. I met with Lieutenant Baker, who is strait from Fort Towson. He left there only about one week ago.

#8

The annexation of Texas was voted on March 1, 1845. The Anglo-American dispute over the northwestern border was resolved by a treaty signed on June 18, 1846.

#9

I wrote you a letter a few days ago in which I promised to write again by Mrs. Wallen. It was my intention to write you a long one, but she starts much sooner than I expected. I will only bother you with a short note, and it will probably reach you before the letter sent by mail.

#10

I wrote to you several days ago, expecting that Mrs. Wallen would start the next day for St. Louis and be the bearer of my letter. But at the time she expected to get off, she was taken sick and has not been able to start until now.

#11

I was informed that I had a dangerous rival in Missouri, and that you did not intend to write to me any more. I knew, or at least thought I knew, that even if any such thing was true, you would let me know it and not tell it to a disinterested person.
