Burlington, Ia Mar. 19, 1943 My Dearest:- Rec'd your letter today and glad to hear from you, but sorry you are having to work so hard. Well it will soon be over for a while anyway. I can hardly wait until you get home daddy. I am counting on it so much. It will be a pretty busy time. Do you suppose I had better speak to Wilma to work for me, at least part time, for those ten days you are here? I suppose, if you are sent where we can go, it will be a wise thing to stay here for the finish of school. Honey, I want you to telephone me as son as you find out where you are going. I will pay the bill. It will be worth it. I hope you will stay on this side. Clifford is much better. He will have to be in bed again tomorrow, but his temperature is down & he is eating some. John R isn't feeling up to par either. He is so tired. It is just the results of this cold he has had I guess. Sissy is O.K. now. She is full of the dickens. She said her teacher said Carol never forgot to say thank you, for anything she did for her. I thought that was quite a compliment. I gave Mrs. Nate Wilson a permanent today. She asked me, if you had ever seen her nephew yet. He is on the faculty & has his wife and one child with him & living there. Mrs. Wilson
