My Dearest:
We (Jessie and I) went up to see you Saturday, but you had been shipped for parts unknown, anyway that's what everyone told us. We left here about 3:30. so if by some chance you were still ther we wouldn't miss a minute with you. I thought maybe you couldn't phone until after 5. So we just decided to take off. I was awful disappointed, altho, I tried not to plan on seeing you for sure. But I guess you were too, weren't you?
I had already told the folks that I was going to stay with Jessie, So we stayed all night at Alf & Helens. Alf worked until 1:30, so Jess, Helen and Leah B sat around and talked all night - Helen went to the liqour store. She had to stand in line for a half hour. Boy if I had to do that there'd be no whiskey drank. I only had one short one. So you see, I'm being a good gal.
Honey, Do you remember putting some wood in the oven to dry the morning you left? Well, Tues night when I got home and got my tears shut off a minute Mom asked me if I could smell wood burning, she had looked all over for it. I started to giggle and told her to look in the oven. Oh lordy, talk about smoke whew. Daddy grabbed it and threw it out in the yard, did it blaze - if I hadn't of felt so bad it would have been funny.
Murray quit his job out there Monday. They came up home Tues night to tell us he was going to Tooelea to work. He was up there one day and came home. I don't think he has taken another job yet.
When I got home thurs nite, someone turned on the light and said booh. It was Bessie, Dick and Gary. She brought down 6 of Gary's baby dresses. They are just like new so that solves that.
Honey, How is your cold? Better I hope. If not be sure and take good care of it and of you. Cause you're all the papa us two has got or will have.
Gosh Hone, I'd sure like to see you in your uniform. I'll bet you really make a good looking soldier. As long as you're there, I hope you'll like it a little bit and I do hope you are in some thing you like. By the time I mail this I'll probably know.
I am going to stay with Aunt Jessie tonight. Eleanor has gone to the city again. I am going to work at 8:30 and nothing to do.
I is sure swell with the folks there. The other night Jessie and Grace came up when I went to go Dad said, "Now hurry home" and Mom said, "You don't have to stay as long as you want." There's only one thing wrong. She won't wake me up in the mornings. (am I kicking, no) - Daddy has a 'hellava' cold, he has been off work for 2 days. Mother and I went to the show today, it was "the Black Swan" it was a pirate picture you'd sure like it.
Gosh sweetheart, you'll never know how thrilled I was when you called that morning, I shook for an hour. - Honey, I miss you so dam much and I'll probably miss you more - but all in all we'll make out, won't we?
I have an appointment with the Dr. on the 20th. I suppose I still feel well and still can hardly believe it's true.
Loris says that she is going to marry that guy we met down there that night. Of all the changable people, she's the worst.
Bessie brought that picture down so as soon as I find out where "parts unknown" is I'll sent the ring and this to you. Do you still want your lighter? How is your underwear and things holding out? And Honey, if you need any money, please write and tell me.
Alf got his deferrement, it is only good until June 28th, this morning his sister, Leah said, "Everyone is in the Army, but Alf." Gosh, he went red, I almost felt sorry for him.
Honey, did you say a prayer for me that night? I'm sure you must have, nothing could have made me stop crying and feel so at peace as I did. After working and having to keep a straight face all day, I got practically histerical and all of a sudden between 9:30 or 10 o'clock, I just stopped and didn't cry anymore. Went right to sleep and I told Mom that you had prayed for me. Hope you did.
Well Honey, I'll sign off for today, I'll probably have to ship this first letter express if I don't stop and go to bed.
Goodnight Sweet and dream of me - Toots.
