Description
This collection of love letters between Joe Henry Elam and Louella Newton Elam describe Louella's family and friends in Milano, Texas, and Joe's work life with the Bartlett Western Railway and International and Great Northern Railroad Company. Joe writes from Bartlett and Palestine, Texas to Louella in Milano, Texas. “My dearest sweetheart, how are you this afternoon? I just wish that I could see you awfully bad.” He closes by saying he has to stop writing because he is out of paper, “lovingly yours, Joe.”
