Context

July 21, 1895, was a Sunday. The ad names no hotel, gives no date, and doesn’t say what the blunder was, or whose; it asks only for a second chance. It ran in the same column as a Colorado Springs bachelor’s ad. For where people in Denver post missed connections now, see our guide to personal ads in Denver.
