A Grandmother's Legacy

December 1905, finds only one short note/letter to Miss Constance Warwick from John C. McClure. John is still working at the First National Bank in Alva, Oklahoma Territory. Miss Constance Warwick is receiving her mail care of rural delivery (RFD) and teaching in a rural school in northwest Oklahoma Territory.

December 13, 1905, Alva, O.T., written on The First National Bank of Alva, Oklahoma, stationery -- Jno McClure writes in his beautiful penmanship, "Alva, O.T., Wed. Eve, Miss Constance Warwick, Alva, O.T., Dear Connie,

"Say, Connie, can I come out and see you again sometime. I hardly think I could come out Sun. Eve., because I think now I must go up by Capron. Perhaps I could come out before. Mebby (sic) you won't let me come out at all.

Your Friend,
Jno McClure."
