Friend Della:
Oh, write to me when far away,
Twill cheer the lone hour
Twill heed a shamshine on the heart
Where happy clouds will lower
Farewell oh Farewell,
Is the wish of my heart:
The choice belessings
Which to me can sinfast ?
Yours truly, Sat Tribbett, Darlington, Ind Dec 30, 1882
To Della:
Time changes our fair
Hearts should always be the
same and in them cherish the
Faith, Hope and Charity. Faith in friends
Hope for the future. Charity for faults of others,
Rather than the desires for fame.

Friend Della, -
One object of life is to seek happiness for ourselves. Let us not forget that in seeking to make others happy, we make our own more enviable.
Wishing you well, I remain - Your friend, J.I. Groves
Shannondale, May 2, 1882
Friend Della:
Amid the busy scenes of life,
Strangers accidently meet
And with congenial spirit
Love to each other greet
But time that's ever changes (?)
May separate us far and wide,
Friendship formed is not forgotten
But sends well wishes across the tide.
Your true friend,
Emma Pickett (? on last three letters of name - Pickard ?) Oct 31, 1882 - Darlington
Dear Della:
The truest end of life is to know that life that never ends. Your Dearest Friend, Rhenie E. Miller - May 16th, 1882 Shannondale, Ind
