No.221

Hello Darling:

It’s your little girl again. I was so glad I heard from you again today. This was dated Sept. 5^th whereas the last one previously received was dated Sept. 6^th. The mail gets held up here too, it seems. I don’t know what I would’ve done today. Mom called this morning to tell me I had two letters. One from you and one from O.C. Wald. I was going to stay at the Kids’ for a couple of days and since I wouldn’t get home until Saturday afternoon, I asked her to open the Wald envelope. Well, to make a long story short, I was laid off from the office. That job wasn’t that important to me but it hit me rather “hard” because I had done so much for him and to be kicked out, well, it didn’t make me feel one bit good. I don’t know what brought on this sudden decision but nevertheless there it was. He had also enclosed a check to cover the balance of my vacation. When I knew your letter was waiting for me, that did so much to ease the hurt in my heart. Honestly honey, I can’t even explain the feeling I had when all this happened. Well, I’ve gotten over the worst of it. I can’t let anything get me down now, knowing the war is over and you will soon be coming home. That is what counts and I’m just waiting, Darling.

John had to use Dad’s car today because the proper connections for the heater had to be made. John went down to the station during noon hour and Mom gave him my mail to bring home tonight. That’s how I happened to get my mail today. I’m well as ever. I am happy to hear you’re feeling quite chipper. Keep it up, Darling. I can’t get over the cookies you received. I was so worried they would all be broken and tasteless. Gee, I’m glad you liked them. I hoped to bake some this week for sure for you. I’ll be off for a week or two before I’ll start looking for another job.

My general condition is going along well. I still go through the daily routine as instructed by the doctor. I hope to see the doctor in another month. I feel that will have given me enough time to better the matter or otherwise. I certainly hope he’ll tell me nothing else will be needed. We’ll keep our fingers crossed, huh?

Darling, I hope this finds you feeling extra good and smiling I’ll have more to write tomorrow, Sweetheart.

Goodnight, My Sweet. My love which is the everlasting kind, belongs to you alone. Gee, I wish you were here with me, Honey. God bless you, Hon.

The very best of luck, Dearest.

Yours Forever,

Emily
