Hello De and Joe,

Sunday and lonesome. Washed and have nearly everything put away so will write to you next. I am waiting for Dar. She said she is coming maybe the yes, more says no again she called and wanted your address, which I gave to her. I think she realized that you were hurt inside more than you let on. I puttered more in fact exploded. She said her self that she wished she had asked you and Joe to go with.

She asked me to come. Mother’s Day for 5 o’clock lunch. I don’t know if Dad will go. We sure won’t stay only till dishes are washed. We stopped just a little while to see her new house last night, which is cute but Jerry treated us just awful. Oh De, I wish you kids were here, believe me it is all I can do to keep my chin up.

I took your dress out last night. Do you want me to send it to you and the Twin City Furniture store was brought out by the St. Paul house we have to pay them now, isn’t that good I can’t find the Cardgo book. Where is it. Can you tell me? Your nylon stockings, where are they in the cedar chest? I locked it and now I can’t open it, but that is alright. Your things are all put away only the overalls are dirty yet.

Iris called wanting your address. Ma Anderson has been very sick with a cold. I took Mrs Buck’s small desk out here it is so cute instead of our old one also her studio couch.

Oh by the way, Frances Pro is coming to Seattle next week driving through and wanted your address. She will be married after she gets there. Her boyfriend is stationed there. And what is Joe dong now? Is he still at that 1st and place?

Bud changed into Co. D instead of Hg Co. Addie had a letter from him a few days ago.

I was so glad when your letter came and I cried. I worried so please don’t do that again. A card will do if you haven’t the time. What is your work going to be? Tell me everything. I have nose trouble Hg. Ha. The Moran girl that was traveling had the upper birth. all to the man below if he had time not the time nor the inclination.

Well I think this is enuf for now so with all my love to you and Joe, hugs and kisses.

I am as ever,
Mother
