Saturday Night

My Dear Sweetheart,

It’s quite late and we just returned from San Francisco, having had the nicest time. We went to the Cocktail Room of Mark Hopkins Hotel, “Top of the Mark,” where we could see out over the city. As soon as you return, we must go there, so you can see S.F. from above. Boy, we’ve surely been getting around. We think Ann might come out around Christmas time. Uncle Clifford said Dad wanted to come awfully bad, and I’ll bet he did.

Almost forgot to tell you that we ate dinner at Cathay House, in Chinatown. You and I were never there. Yes, darling, I wish you would hurry home. There are so many times that I have such realistic dreams of you kissing me. After your return, I shall never permit you to even go to work, I don’t think! At least you can’t work for 6 months afterwards.

Well, I’m just about at my end, so bye bye and never forget how very much I love you.

Yours,

Berna Lou
