Dear Ralph,

I’m just writing a very short letter but I hope it is better than none. Mom and I went to the show and just got home. No one got the money and next Wednesday there is a 3-$75 given. I hope I’m lucky. Your mother sent you a package today, did you get it? I haven’t been down there for just about 2 weeks. It has been too bad of weather to get in the lane. I hope you can read this writing. I am sleepy all the time but I never write until I go to bed then I am sleepy. I didn’t get any mail today so I’ll look for two letters tomorrow.

Honey I will always love you and always be true. Honey it’s been hard doing without you but there is always two sides to everything. I hope you are as anxious to see me as I am to see you. I will be more excited than the night I married you, remember? I do. Well Honey, I’m going to close and I’ll write tomorrow night. There isn’t any news here. Tell me some more that you love me. I always did like to hear you say that. Be good Ralph and write every chance you have.

Love, Marge

Marge and her mother went to a show.
