March 15th 1911"
Dear Mrs. Armistead."
On the day your letter came, I mailed you copies of my other poem to dear Jerrie.)
Dr George+ C. Phillips of Lexington, Miss. Who, you know, was an Oxford boy,"
class of 1857, a Delta Psi, and fond of Jerrie, had the two poems and published them. He 
send me 50 copies of the last one and I mailed 48 of them to his (Jerrie's) old friends & to 
you & [?] Dabbs. My love for Jerrie was, & is, unbounded by time. My folks say that 
my friendships are all "loves." Be it so! I find that those who have "gone to sleep" are 
still with us & it is a consoling belief."
Often have I wondered where you were since our pleasant meeting where I saw 
you to the train for Hot Springs. I heard, afterwards, that your [?], Mrs. Sanders,"
had died."
I trust that you are well and happy, as I am, barring the loss of so many of my 
friends and relatives. The past is full of those dear shadows, but I am cheerful that God 
thought me worthy of having this happy draw on earth."
Very truly & respectfully- 
James L. Goodloe
