Burlington, Ia Feb. 22, 1943 My Dearest:- It is very late, as usual, I have been asleep in the chair. I am sitting here soaking my feet. They have been so sore lately, I can hardly stand on them. I guess spring must be here. No mail from you again today. I suppose you have been too busy to write. How much longer do you have? The first week you were there, doesn't count does it? This has been a beautiful day. The folks came down today & had arches built in their shoes, by Rauchendorfer. Aunt Clemmie & Uncle Cornie were with them. I ate lunch with them at Corso's. Dad looked much better today I thought. Ruth Reeve was in this morning & I fixed her all up for the big show tonight. I promised I would go, but when night came, I was just too tired. She looks terribly bad. She told me all about Jeri. Said he was a Jew and just swept her off her feet. I guess he gave her two doz. roses at a time, boxes of candy & had a beautiful car. Anyway they got the divorce and she said, she didn't think there was anything he could do about it. I suppose I should have gone tonite, but I didn't want to. She said she would see me in the morning.
