John N. Calhoun family letters, February 1941-April 1945

1943-02-07 Page 2

I hope spring comes early this year. I am so tired of winter!
Ruthie was down town shopping and came up to see me. She was going to the Dr. this afternoon She told Blanche she was going down to C & E's & see if she couldn't get a job at cutting.  She had been over to Brook's & Kathryn had told her they were hiring cutters. She said she would be over to see us Wednesday.
I rec'd your letter this morning. Boy they really come through in a hurry now. I have been getting a letter every day.
You said something about me sending you my figures for what I had taken in. You have all these figures, don't you? You took them with you. I have a copy here at home. If you don't have them, let me know, but you took them with you. 
Kids are all pretty good now. They have coughs yet, but much better. They are all excited about Valentine Day. I had John & Cliff go & get their hair cut tonight after school on Maple street Barber shop. I was just too tired & too busy to do it. I haven't been feeling very good. I just can't get rid of this sinus cold I have. Your mother was pretty tired last nite from the trip, but O.K. this morning.  She looks pretty good I think. I suppose your work has really started now hasn't it? How do you like it up there? It is more like living in Gods Country isn't it?  Must go home now.
