Dear
Hon:
Good
morning Sweetheart. I heard the birds singing early this morning so must be
that spring is actually here. Today is Holy Thursday and we intend to visit
some churches tonight. In each one darling I will say a prayer for you.
We
went home late yesterday afternoon and stayed for about 3 hours then decided to
come back home as we had to buy an Easter card for Leo’s girl as he
neglected getting one so far. After seeing mine he decided he would like to
give her one. By the way darling, I shall frame my Easter card and hang it up
in the bedroom as it is too nice to put away. I also had some eggs to deliver
to Kitty and her mother. Everyone wants eggs for Easter. Zs used to come and
pick up all the eggs your Ma had as long as they were 25¢ now that she
raised the price to 30 they decided they did not want anymore. Come to find out
Joe Z. was selling them in the city and he was mad as he couldn’t make
enough if he had to pay 30. Isn’t that the way of the Zs. Always looking
for an easy way to make money.
I
didn’t write you before darling that we all received invitations for
Carl’s wedding. He is going all out for it. Leo told us yesterday that
Carl bought up $400 worth of liquor, 2 cases rum, and 5 barrels of beer. The
reception is to take place in the Falcon home. Darling my mind is made up right
now and that is that I am not going. Weddings don’t excite me with the
world being as it is. This is hardly the time to put on such a big splash.
What’s more his wife will stay in
Your
dad isn’t feeling so well these days. He says he will have to give up
working soon. If only this war would end I’m sure that things would be
different. You could always come home and help out darling.
I
will close now my darling and my sweetest man in all the world. I miss you and
love you very, very much. I hope before another spring comes you will be home
darling and then I shall be as happy as I can possibly be. We will all be
happy. I Love you darling.
“God
Bless You.” XX Your Loving Wife.
