[Card included]

Dearest loving Hubby:

It’s a lonely evening for both of us again, isn’t it, Sweet? The thought of you is with me every minute. I’m feeling well and everyone else is likewise.

I finally took our wedding pictures to the photographers to have 5 x 7 prints made to be given to the cousins. I’m getting them free of charge due to the fact I got a good air brush very reasonably. I went to the dentist at 4 o’clock this afternoon to have a “touchy” one filled. Everyone seems to like the appearance of my teeth but I didn’t see any difference. I think it’s the new shade of lipstick I’m using. I have a few more cavities to be filled. These cavities seem to be between teeth and I can’t find them until Dr. Cartwright used an instrument- then, ouch! He asked about you again. He also asked if you were soon coming home. Gee. Honey. I wish I could’ve said “yes - real soon”. So far I can only hope and pray but I know one of these days you’ll be the fortunate one to be coming home. Darling, the verse on this card will tell you truthfully how I feel. Please don’t just read it once, Sweet.

I stepped over to Florence’s house before I came here to Mr. Wald’s tonight. Her sister and brother-in-law came for the evening. I formerly chummed with her (before she married). We had a nice chat. Florence’s Mother came down and joined us.

When I walked out of the Ferrish place who should be parked out in front but Mom and Dad. They knew how long I had planned to stay, therefore they knew when to meet me. They drove me over here and then went on their way again. The old buzzard looks disgusted and talks very little. Something is brewing since he’s laying off Betty next week. As I told you in last night’s letter he finally noticed how little keep she was giving. I only hope this won’t mean I’ll have difficulty getting away when you come home. I just won’t let this job stand in my way.

Mr. Wald considers himself robust and healthy and when he gets that way, he usually makes big changes. Well, Sweet, whatever it is. I won’t let it get me down. Nothing is important but you. I miss you so much. Darling, that feeling goes down deep. I look forward to your letters and I know you’ll write whenever you can. Tell me all about yourself. Are you taking good care of yourself? Keeping your chin up, Sweetheart? Hope so. Good night Darling. I’ll be praying for both of us. May God grant us the one wish- to have you home where you belong- Please keep my love locked in your heart wherever you go- The very best of luck to you, Honey-

Lovingly,

Emily
