Blue Monday
About 10:30 P.M.
At
home in bed.
Ila got her
birthday card today and I didn’t know it was her birthday or I might have
gotten her something.
Dearest Ralph,
I got two letters today. I was real
glad to hear from you. There wasn’t much doing at the store today because we wasn’t allowed to sell hardly anything.
Honey in both of your letters I got
today you asked me for stationery. I sent you some this morning. I hope you get
it O.K. Well Ralph you asked me I remembered the time we parked under the old
oak trees. I didn’t know they were oak trees but I knew you were there. I liked
it sometimes but ________. Those were the good old day back in ’42. I wish I
had a nickel for everytime you kissed me there and
I’d quit working tomorrow.
Honey I hope you like the study of
Radio. I know you will make good grades because you’re the brightest boy in
I’m going to send a payment to the
car either tomorrow or Wed. It is due the 28th. After that we will
only have two more payments. If I keep on working I can pay them all myself and
pay Johnny for the payment he made. We were talking about the next payment
tonight. I told him I had the money and would take care of it this week. I’ll
take care of your income tax papers honey, so just forget all about the stuff.
I don’t want you to worry about anything and just come back to me as soon as
possible. Ralph I’m not going to write much because it’s getting kinda late. I sent you two letters this morning. You should
get a letter every day. Well honey I love you and I’m waiting for you. The time
goes so slow when your away. Honey
don’t worry about me because I’m feeling fine again. I’ll not worry
about you since I sure will think about the only person I love. I wish you were
home tonight but since your not I’ll have to lie down + imagine you are.
So
long,
With love
Marge

I
wish these were real. Do you?
I
let Ila read a letter of
mine and Norma asked what the big “X” was on there for. She couldn’t
understand.
