To My Wonderful Husband,

I received your two most wonderful letters of Friday and Sunday today. I was sure surprised to hear of your making a change. Just what is this new job? Does it mean you’re out there shooting instead of repairing bodies? I’m a bit in a fog. Why did you even change? Didn’t the hospital work turn out the way you had expected it to? In any case, I hope the change will make you happy. I hope it isn’t because you thought you could get me near you because you sure can if I have my way.

I talked to your mother tonight and she says she got a letter from you today, but she was a little uneasy about it. She says it has no postmark and that your letter is so short. You aren’t neglecting her, I hope. She says she sent you a birthday cake last week and also cookies yesterday. In my estimates, you made a poor choice. Giving up that mother for this gal. She doesn’t even remember your birthday. Although she was with you she hasn’t the money to do anything about it. Anyway, I will let your mom know any news I get until you say not. I had a very nice talk with her and she was lovely.

Now about my coming to Washington. I can’t come for a few weeks as I (we) haven’t the funds just now. Not that I won’t have them in a few weeks. Just time enough to find out how long you will be at this point. You know I want to come at once, but we mustn’t jump into it too fast. I asked your mother what she thought, and she suggested waiting until we know more about it. It seems it is all up to you letting us know the lay of the land.

I’m all ready even to having my hair done. I had a permanent tonight. Had my hair cut real short. You won’t know me. Who am I trying to kid. Anyway, I just had a few words with mom and she says go if that is what you both want. Please understand darling. If necessary for a while Mom will even take care of the fur payment. I think we can handle them, but in case she is always there.

I’ll read your grand letters again later tonight because they are music to my ears. All about how much you love me and want to make me happy. I never worry about being happy if we could only be together. I’ll do my very best always to be the best wife every. I know I will have to make changes, but if we always remain true lovers life will never become a bore. I love you and want above all for you to be happy. We want for each other to be happy. The kids were kidding me today. I told the girls I couldn’t sleep the last couple of nights. That I know something was wrong. They said that I was just an old married woman laying away worrying. Not that. I must close. God bless you. I’ll be seeing you very soon I hope.

Your loving wife,
DeLores
