Circleville, Tex.
Feb. 26, 1898.
Dear Audrey,
Nearly a year has passed since we have exchanged letters, & to think it is the result of my conduct That I should have been so hasty as to have written to you as I did has ever been a source of much regret to me. Knowing how liable we are err, as you do, & that you are kindly disposed to every one, encourages me to believe that you will not refuse pardon. Do not doubt me when I say I am truly penitent.
During the ten months that has passed since I have heard from you, I have often thought of my dear friend. Of late my thoughts have almost constantly been of you; what you are doing, whether time has wrought any changes in your life, & if she has been dealing kindly with you. Perhaps I should not, but I feel that I can not longer refrain from writing to you, hoping that you will excuse the apparent presumption I show in so doing. I do not deserve to have the pleasure of reading another one of your letters, but we do not always have our deserts in this life, & in this case I hope I shall be denied mine. That I may have your consent to renew our correspondence. Though it shall be hard to be deprived of the pleasure of writing to you, if you prefer not to renew the correspondence, I hope you shall feel no hesitancy in refusing.
As you can see from the heading, I am still at Circleville. I am doing first rate. After four months of close application, succeeded in leaving Hills Business College with a diploma, of which I am very naturally proud. By way of appology I may truthfully say, that judging from this chirography one would suppose I had never seen a business college. I am very much out of practice, & right now it seems that I am unusually nervous. I like the institution to a certain extent was sorry when the time came to leave, having made many warm friends in Waco.
But here I am about to write a letter, when it may be that my letters have now interest you.
Hoping to hear from you very soon I am, with kindest regards for your family, & best wishes for you.
Your sincere friend,
Carlos Easley.
