July 21, 1895, was a Sunday. He advertised in Denver’s paper but asked for letters at his own post office box in Colorado Springs, about 70 miles south. He gives his education and his position, and sets only an upper age limit for her. It ran in the same column as a man’s plea to the lady he missed at a hotel entrance.

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.
