Title	Arvine C. Wales Letters to Eliza Weimer
Subject	Daily Life
Place	Massillon (Ohio) Canal Fulton (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio)
Description	These two letters by Arvine C. Wales were written to his prospective bride, Eliza Weimer of Canal Fulton, Ohio. Wales expresses his love for her and encourages her to make a decision regarding his proposal for marriage. Eliza's father, Martin Weimer, was a cabinetmaker who made some of the furniture at Spring Hill, Wales home. She married Arvine C. Wales in 1864 and they had three children. The letters are four pages each and measure 8" x 9.75" (20.32 x 24.77 cm). The Rotch-Wales Collection comprises several thousand items, including Quaker and abolitionist materials, household remedies and recipes, weather reports and machinery plans, and personal letters of Thomas and Charity Rotch and their family. It contains personal and business correspondence, diaries, documents, accounts, ledgers, and daybooks. A large portion of the collection consists of the personal and business correspondence, documents, and business papers of Arvine Wales I (1785-1854), who accompanied Rotch from Hartford to Ohio in 1811, worked for him, and carried on Rotch's business interests after his death. The papers of his son, Arvine C. Wales (1827-1882), a lawyer and civic leader in Massillon, are also part of the collection.

Full Text	[page 1] [corresponds to page 1 of Arvine C. Wales Letter to Eliza Weimer, Oct. 23, 1864] Springhill Sabbath Evening Oct 23d 1864 Dearest Lida I wish when you read these lines you would do so, believing that they were written by one who loves you tenderly and truly, and more than he loves all else in this world. I shall write plainly, but I hope you will not take offence, or think that I wish to pain you. I would rather endure a hundred pangs, than to inflict one upon you. I did [underlined] think that you were serious, and in earnest in the promise you made a week ago, and I was [underlined] disappointed when I learned that you were not. I would have been false to all my former protestations if I had not been disappointed and grieved and so in the first heat of my bitterness I
