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.
Public domain in the United States: published before 1931.
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.
