John N. Calhoun family letters, May 1942 - February 1943

1942-07-16 Page 2

I want to know for certain if I am going.  Write & tell me as soon as you can what you think.
Enclosed is a card from John R & Mrs. Rankin.  I'll bet he is having a swell time.  As long as he is satisfied & they want him, I am going to leave him.
I havn't heard anything from your mother since she went home.  Have you?  You had better write her.
Arlene & a girl friend of her's are here to stay all night & may keep her for a few days to take care of the kids while Ruth is at the hospital.  They are looking for work.
Ruth & I have decided she will take the back bed room & fix it into a light housekeeping room for her & then she won't have to bother anyone.  How do you think that sounds.  She could go home part of the time for her supper.  We have an electric plate down at the shop.
Well darling, I must close & get some rest.  It has been a scorcher here today.  How is the weather there?  I'll bet is is plenty hot isn't it?  I will be planning to come in the next three or four weeks unless I hear from you to the contrary.  Goodnight.
Affectionately Yours
Mommie & Kiddies
p.s. Didn't I enclose an addressed envelope in the last letter [illegible]?
