Dearest Ken

Saturday Night

            There really isn’t much to write about; stayed in bed all day trying to get rid of the cramps. Earlier in the morning I had taken some pills which were most ineffective and only served to nauseate me. In desperation I turned to the best, most reliable and easy to administer form of gin and coke. In about behalf an hour I became quite sleepy, took a nap, and slept about two and a half hours, and presto-no cramps! You understand this form of medication can only be applied when one is “off duty” and has no pressing responsibility to meet for the day! Feel pretty fine now. Think I shall go back to bed after dinner and sleep for the night and start fresh tomorrow. Should feel swell all week.

            I have this dirty place to clean in the morning and must see the mending and darning are done for the coming week as I plan to spend a few nights with Leona. If I stay over there a night or two a week, I find I don’t get quite so exhausted as otherwise. She has been so wonderful to me and there’s nothing I can ever do for her since she has everything that money can buy and is furthermore a very self-sufficient type of individual. Wish I could copy her pattern for living!

            When you return, you must take me in hand and retrain me, Darling

You’ll have a big job, I love you, Berna Lou
