My darling,

It’s finally peaceful and quiet in hear so I can concentrate on writing to you. I just washed the kids and put them to bed. Betty Jane has a terrible sunburn and she cried all nite last nite. Nobody got much sleep. We all got up kinda grumpy this morning and this has been a hectic day. Sam and Fran were here for dinner as usual.

This afternoon Betty, Peg, and I took a walk back in the woods. I feel like we’d walked for miles. We waded in the creek and certainly had a nice afternoon by ourselves.

Pheety this is the last week I’ll be here then I’m on my way to St. Paul, it seems like you’ve been gone a month. Did you see Mrs. Andreaion? I bet she was kinda angry because we didn’t keep the room. I can’t blame her much as we promised we’d come back there to line.

Have you missed me very much darling? I certainly have missed you. I always miss you when ever you leave me for a few minutes. I’m awful selfish with you aren’t I darling? I guess I’ll always be my pheety’s little baby. I get so lonesome around here honey, with all the noise and work to do I still get lonesome for my husband. If you and I would ever separate Vincent, I don’t believe I could ever go on. I need you darling always remember that. You just seem to be a part of me and when you’re gone I just feel empty inside. I don’t want to do anything except sit around and think about you. That’s a terrible feeling and if you should ever leave me or if anything should ever happen to you I’d just sit around and grieve my life away. You’re the answer to my prayers darling and life wouldn’t be worthwhile without you. Nobody could ever take your place with me.

I wish I could see my pheety before he has to go to the rifle range again but I don’t suppose I will yet. That’s going to be a long two weeks in St. Paul by myself, but it will be worth it when you return. I hope my check comes next Saturday so I can start up there Sat. nite. I’ll get in St. Paul Sun. nite and Mon. morning I’ll look for a place to live and also a job.

Well Darling, I’m going to close for now and get ready for bed. I feel all in tonite. Take good care of yourself and I love you more each day.

Write me after.

Your Wife,

Margaret

P.S. Give my regards to the gang.

I Love You
