To My Darling Husband,

How is my darling tonight? I hope he isn’t angry at me or not too disappointed in me. I promised myself that I wouldn’t say anything about my dumb act of Saturday, but Mom just called me on my actions. She doesn’t approve of what I did but she says she couldn’t say so because things have been going so badly. Every time she says anything she gets in trouble.

Darling, I have a problem. Should I go to Ed and Helen’s and try to make them act like grown ups? They haven’t even called Mom since the day of our wedding. Even Darlene is acting like a fool. She hasn’t time to talk when mom calls and never returns a call. Should I go to the kids and ask them to stop hurting Mother? She isn’t hurting me but it does hurt Mother. She just feels as though they don’t ned her anymore. Her job is done as far as the kids are concerned. Just what can I do? She cries all the time because of their acts. You just must advise me somehow.

So much for that. I got up this morning at about 9:45 and helped mom with the porch curtains. Then I got dressed and went over to Lucille’s house. We had dinner and then George Damstiad came over from the Fort. After he left we took a couple of pictures and then we went down to a show. We saw the Keeper of the Flame. It’s pretty good. It was about 7:30 and I went out to Lehner’s but they weren’t home. I let myself in and left a note for them. The baby is in the hospital. He has been awfully sick with a cold and I guess near pneumonia. You better not say anything to Dorothy as I haven’t talked to her since she saw him today. I only hope he comes out of this in a hurry.

Darling, I’m listening to Mrs. Anthony and I just can’t get my mind on this. Please however darling, try to tell me what you think now about your awful wife. I know now she isn’t as much as she thought she was. Oh hell. I hate myself. Darling, I’ve got to come out and be with you. I’m going crazy without you. I received your money order and it sure looks good. I mean that it will help me to get to see you sooner. I’m coming if you stay there, if you still want me or not. I love you. Maybe in a dopey way, but I’ve got to be with my. husband. I just can’t stand this much longer. I can’t explain how I felt tonight, but I could jump out of my skin.

Darling, please don’t worry about me. I’ll be ok in the morning I’m sure. God bless you and keep you, Sweetheart.

Your loving wife,

DeLores
