My dearest Gerry:
I received your letter today and they are very welcome being I had not
heard from you since last Tuesday. What has Welsford
got that I haven’t? Maybe I don’t talk as much, but at least I wouldn’t feed you
liverwurst in the middle of the night. Wait until I meet this Welsford. I went to see him yesterday too, and I know he
will see us through this time. Tim, Dot and Tim took mother and me out for
dinner and we went over to Guffanti’s. It just didn’t
feel right going right without you. After dinner we went to the zoo in
Miss Saunders returned to work today after a 4 month absence to have a
baby. The store seems lost without Mr. Taylor and the work gets so tiresome at
times. This new fellow is off on the wrong foot. He has too many NY store ideas,
which don’t go over out here. A number of the gals are down on him already.
Oh Gerry this week cant’ pass too quickly or the coming weekend last long
enough to suit me. My radio hasn’t been working in over a month so I took the
tables home Saturday and Jack had them tested and they
were all okay. So tonight I put the tables back and pulled on a couple of wires
and man it works swell and even better than before. I heard some song tonight
that I’ve never heard before, some are very good. Maybe we will dance to a
couple of them Saturday night. Who is coming up with you? Not a blonde I hope.
Well my darling just have to close because my
eyes just won’t stay open. Something I caught from you. I’m praying with
you.
Love,
Eileen
