Hello Sweetheart Darling,

Well here it is week in after you’re changed into the hospital.

Here is is Thursday morning. I’m on the street car and boy it is really cold this morning. I didn’t hear from you yesterday but I’m not worried about it. I just have a short time to write so it won’t be long.

I mailed you a box of candy last night. Hope it finds you. Enjoy it for me. If you do it will make me happy. Say, Darling, how about your 20 year insurance policy. Are you keeping it up or have you forgotten it? If you need money please say so. I’ll send what ever I can. I love you so much that I’ll do most anything. Mom is getting angry with me because she feels I’m doing the courting and not you. Don’t let it worry you though. I like it. The table is turned for a change. I bet that doesn’t seem quite right, does it?

Norman has the measles. The other kids can go to school though. So that isn’t too bad.

Well I’m coming down with what Mom had. I have an awful cold and feel a little punk. I’ll take care of it so it will be O.K.

I sure get it swell. I haven’t my earning for Lerner’s and I already have over $500.00. Not bad. Some more money gone. Well darling I must sign off as we are to 7th. Will write more tonight. God bless you sweetheart.

Love,
DeLores

P.S. just one man in my life. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good Morning Darling,

It is just 6:00 bells as I commence to finish this letter. I have slept on that news and it still doesn’t make me any happier.

Sweets, I put in an awful night, Mom not feeling well and me quite blue. Mom didn’t help it along any. More about that later.

Something happened last night when I read that letter. My bottom dropped out of all our plans. At least for the near future. They can’t keep true love apart. If you can’t get home I’ll come out to you. That is if I can get things paid for enough ahead. My big surprise I had for you was that I was or have done my room over. The set will arrive home on Saturday. I had it planned for us. To use first together. Anyway it will be home whenever you get home. I have also purchased a night table to match our set. It only set me back $29,00. The set wouldn’t be complete without it though. I hope you approve. So much for that.

Last night my Mom just about drove me bugs. She can find so damn many things to holler about. First, why hasn’t Joe sent you any money. I promised he would. Please darling, I understand but Mom doesn’t. Then she says, why hasn’t Joe my our his insurance to you. Here you set with better than $400.00 in bills on your back and what do you get. Nothing. Sweets, about your insurance, that is up to you. If you feels your mother has it coming, that’s up to you. But what can I say to my Mother? She hurt me so last evening. I felt so badly anyway and then she started in on me. I don’t care what you do with your money. It’s yours. Although I do think I have something coming. You are my life and I’m just living it for you. I know you love me too but that. Ah, darling I’ll snap out of this. I’m sorry I can’t make this a happier letter but all in all things have me down a peg.

Darling, work hard at this new job. It may be worth our while. Take advantage of every opportunity. I’m home here and I’ll always be waiting. Do your very best always for me. You have already given me reason to be proud. May God be with you always in this new adventure to help you when things get rough. I know you’ll be well at this work you have always wanted to do. Your father would be proud of you also today having heard such news. If not for me your work, do it for him. Best wishes and loads of luck and may God be with you always in this new job. With Gods help I’m sure you’ll do whatever you try. Don’t forget what makes me go on when things get bad. Our love won’t die because of a few short hours apart. Remember what Miss Lentz always told me. If you want to badly enough, you can do anything. I’m sure you can. Again I say God be with you.

Love,
DeLores

P.S. Keep the old chin up. Mine is. I’m sorry I had to write such a bad letter but it is all out at once. I am not going to work today as Mother is feeling very badly. Darling remember that every cloud there is a silver lining. We’ll find it soon I’m sure. Bye Bye. “Me”
