Tues Eve. 6:15

 

My Darling,

            I received your 2nd letter today and believe me I was just about crazy because I hadn’t heard from you for such a long time. I have been writing to you faithfully since the first letter I received from you. You should be getting them soon now. How are you Pheety? I have been missing you so much. I am feeling fine and I hope my Dumplin’ hasn’t been worrying about me. I was so disappointed when you wrote that you wouldn’t be getting a pass. I wanted so much to hear your voice again and I still do.

            Well darling, I mailed you a box today and I hope you enjoy every bit of it. I wish I could have sent more, but 5 lbs. is the limit. I am going to send you another box next week. It’s so much fun doing those things for you Pheety.

My dearest Dumplin’,   I was so tired and sleepy last night that I caught myself almost falling off the chair so I had to close and go to bed. My cold is still better but I have such an aggravating cough. I got some cough medicine but it isn’t helping me any. Otherwise Pheety I am feeling fine except for being lonesome for you. The Payne Ave. Festival is being held tonight and Rose & I are going to see it.

            How is my Darling husband? I wish I were still with you honey. We had so much fun sometimes I think about you every minute of the day I want you in my arms again darling. You’re the sweetest boy I ever knew and can ever kiss.

            Pheety don’t worry about me going to Ill. with Rose, as I have thought it over and it would be a waste of money. I got 3 letters today, one from your mother, my mother & Etta. I couldn’t hardly read Etta’s letter, she is such a poor writer. They all are begging me to come home but I am going to stay put. My Pheety doesn’t want me to go home so here I am going to stay. Darling I hear you are worrying whether or not I am out riding with Larry, but honey to ease your mind I saw the book keeper the other day and she said he was transferred to St. Cloud, Miami as manager. Even if I was here I still wouldn’t go with him or even go down to the Singer Shop as my Dumplin’ trusts me and I love him with all my heart. Nobody can ever take your place so therefore there’s no use to look for any other company.

            Well Darling until tomorrow when I write you again I’ll close and I remain your faithful and loving wife,

Pheety

I love you very much!
