Dear DeLores and Joe,

How did you find Bremerton on your return and did you get your days off settled? When you left you thought you would be able to come down this weekend and I’m looking for you. Hope you get off in time, DeLores, on Saturday so you could come down Saturday night. As I said before, if you go to Tacoma, and ask for Pioneer bus to Puyallup, you can get off at 9th street on Pioneer, and then you are just one block and a half from the house, or if they are too far between, take any bus to the depot, and call me. Hope it is this weekend because over Decoration Day, I’ll have Monday too, I am going to Portland on Saturday and come back Monday.

Put in a Garden Monday, becoming a gardener as well as a housekeeper and office gal. But when I paid $.35 for a head of cabbage yesterday, I got disgusted, and said “With a little energy I can raise twice as much at less cost.” So long as we have the ground, why not?

These days give me the spring fever. Hate to come in. Jeannie asks for Joe each day. A soldier came out yesterday, and she immediately said “Is dat Joe?” or Where is Joe? Afraid you have a way with the women, Joe.

It is lunch time and I must stop. Until later,

Aunt Emalene
