September 1, 1901, was a Sunday. She signed her full name and asked for letters at general delivery in Pueblo, south of Colorado Springs, where the post office held mail until it was called for. In seven words she gives her age, her situation, and one requirement, his religion. The same column carried a young man of 26, a stranger in the city.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
