come over & stay with her at night. She said she would stay by herself if she had to. The flowers you sent in your letter are surely pretty & was so thoughtful of you. I received a letter from Ruthie [illegible; last name I think?] saying they would be down next Wed. [But?] I will drop her a card & tell them I will see her when you get back. I am going to attend to the mail in the morning, so don't worry about it. Marie Mc Bride was in today & they are leaving in the morning to go to [illegible] and Donnie is going to be married & then [illegible; name I think] is going to work there for [Guthrie?] until he is [called?]. [illegible; first name] Walsh has his orders for foreign service. Mrs Walsh was feeling pretty badly I hope that don't happen to us. I couldn't stand that I don't believe. Mrs. [Illegible; last name] is fixing a chicken for us to take on the way for our lunch. Isn't that nice of her? I think I will stop & just buy things on the way to eat, as it will spoil carrying it so far. I will put the money I have here in the bank & will bring the check back along, just in case we need it. I found your [investor's?] [illegible]. I guess I won't bring your army clothes unless you need them, for you will be coming home. I will try to find some [envelopes?] if I have time. [Illegible] I never have a minute. I will surely be glad to have a minute I can call my very own. I am going to [illegible] [illegible]. Well I will call you Mon. nite at 8:30 then, so be looking for the call. Kids are fine. Goodnight, love & kisses, [Dorothea?] & kiddies.
