Robert Elias Bond
(24 years old) 
letter
  Sunday Evening, Nov 7, 1903
  Robert Bonds talks about receiving letters from Mother and Father.
He also talks about Doctor Bills and the cold weather on East Coast.
Robert also notes that he wants to start his own business with a male classmate friend.
Wants to open office in San Francisco.
He talks about other schemes and plots he has planned.
 In 2nd letter he talks about a letter from Mary Louise Gardner,
and he complains about being too busy and not having any times
and the day being only 24 hours long and some is spent in bed.
Talks about who’ll care a hundred years from now as long as he does his best.
(Poem)
 Grow old along with me; 
The best is yet to be, 
The last of life for which the first was made. 
A whole I Planned; 
Youth shows but half; trust God, see all, 
Or be afraid. 
~ R. Browning
 He talks about the rest of poem,
saying they will understand better his aspect of existence.
Your devoted son,  
Robert E. Bond
