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

Undated letter 9

fine. Guess she will stay for a week or so longer and Van thought they might drive down there to see you. Mr. [Throop?] is very bad too. I doubt if he last long either. Van talked like he would drive Mother home when she come [here?]. He said to tell you to be sure and write your mother. I had a very busy day today. Worked all day as hard as I could. Didn't get home until after six thirty. Honey, I got to thinking about the apartment and so I thought I would call them and talk to them and see how long it [illegible] [sold?] be until the baby arrived and he said it would be three months. I told him he could have it but on account of the sleeping rooms, we wouldn't be able and keep them after the event was over, so I thought I had better tell him. He decided it might be better too. So I gave him back his four dollars and will try my luck again. We have had a lot of calls tonight, but only one couple came to look at it. I hope you won't think I did the wrong thing, But I know how tired we got of the yelling kid [illegible] the [Wagoner's?] I think and older child would even be better don't you? [Illegible] gave me $5.00 and are leaving in the morning. I told them I didn't want anything but they insisted. Mrs. [illegible] called tonite to see how Cliff and everyone was. They had letter from Don, but no change. Well darling, I must get so sleep while I can. It may not be for long. I'll bet you [illegible] one tried [daddy?] tonight. I sure feel sorry to think you had such a bad trip back. Did you get the trip reports made out and sent in? Hope so. I'll bet the time was long in Oceola. Did you eat your lunch there? Will write again tomorrow nite-
