Sweet song Think of me long

Think of the fun we have had together

Kind Sister,
The bright black eye, the melting blue--
I cannot choose between the two.
But that is dearest, all the while,
Which wears for us the sweetest smile.

Note from "A. R."
To My Friend:
Write here indeed I have no
time Besides I don't know
how to rhyme. Why there!
I've done it But keep dark:
I just won't sign it
Here is my mark A. R.
Frances Jalufka
Dear Sister
When you are sitting all alone;
Reflecting on the past,
Remember that you have a Sister
That will for ever last.
Your Sister,

Esteemed Friend,
Life's sweet joy is this
This love, that all surpasses
The only cloud love brings us
Its only bitter pain
That leaves the heart a desert
Is when we love in vain,

direct the reader's thoughts to heaven.

John Rektorik
Dear Friend,
(To My Sweet)
When the name that I
write here is dim on the page
And the leaves of your album are yellow with age.
Still think of me kindly, and do not forget,
That wherever I am I remember you yet.
I write these simple lines for thee.
Whee'er you see them think of me.
Your friend,
Additional note: Flowers of friendship never fade.
Mary Rektorik
Is it vain in Life's wide sea, to ask you to
remember me? And undoubtedly it is my lot,
just to --- and then forgot.
Your friend,
Moravia, Tex, 20th. Feb., 1900
Louis Rektorik

From the sad years of life
We sometimes do shore hours yea,
minutes strike.
Keen blissful brighte never to be forgotten
Which through the dreary gloom of time exhast (?),
Shine like fair sunny spots on a wild waste,
Ever sincerely yours,
Additional note: May thy life happy be
Is my wish for thee.

Last in Your Album
And last in your thought
Last to be remember

Dear Cousin Agnes,
May your life be long and happy.
May joy and pleasure be your lot.
As through this world you trot trot trot.
What you do do wit your might,
Love no man not ever your brothers
if girls must love, love one another.
Not like the rose may our friendship wither
But like the evergreen live forever,
Yours Truly,
Your Cousin
