Hello my own sweet husband,

How are you tonight darling? I haven’t heard from you since the card Monday afternoon. I received it Wednesday. It was grand to hear and I called mother. She was happy I think that I called. Thursday at work I failed to mention it to Alice and at noon she remarked to me. “Say,” says she, “You didn’t tell me you called Ma last night.” She was over to your Mother’s and I guess she expected me to say something. She told me today that Bernice got a couple letters from Ralph. I guess he is in a          . I guess the kid i just tickled pink.

I’m sorry I didn’t get a letter off last evening but I went downtown and got my dress out of Laybe and got 4 pairs of shoes. One pair for work, 2 blacks and one red play shoes. I didn’t need stamps for then as they are all classed as play shoes. After that we went out to Wards and bought curtains for Mom’s bedroom. Helen still hasn’t returned them (Mom’s curtains)

Nothing exciting has happened to me since you left. I don’t suppose anything will. I got a awfully nice letter from Kate which I will send to you as soon as I answer it.

I talked to Mrs. Lehner the other night and she says hello to you. Also thanks you for the gas. I thank you for the load of happiness you have and shall continue giving me. I’m not the same as I was. At least that’s what the fellows at work say. One kid told me I don’t smile the same. I hope I don’t. I just want to smile to please you and I don’t care what they think of it. I’m doing my best. No bad stories and I’m going to be a lady. Before I forget, it isn’t necessary to send me anything. I’ve come through O.K. I know I shouldn’t worry with a husband like you but it’s my nature. I’m going to get this letter in the mail by seven so it goes out tonight and I’ll try to finish my story so you get that the day after this.

I must start to near the end of this note as I have taken out for supper and I must get it in the box if I expect you to get it. I love you darling and will always be your own sweet wife. I must go do dishes so write when you can. God Bless you my husband. See you soon.

Love,
DeLores

P.S. Always your own. I’m so happy just thinking about you I could cry. But I don’t. Mom and Dad heared from E Varn today and he also sends best wishes to us. I must drop him a line.

Bye Bye for this time, your wife and lover DeLores.
