Conger Reynolds correspondence, January 1918

1918-01-15 Daphne Reynolds to Conger Reynolds Page 3

flapping her wings in my direction and send out an S.O.S. And I, like the fool I've always been here, will break my neck getting up some sort of entertainment which will bring in about three hundred plunks. After it is all over I'll be called on the carpet because one of the girls wore too short a dress or did something that looked like a one-step. Such is life at Cottey. 
Did I tell you I broke the news at Ballagh's Drug Store and everyone was enthused but Billy. He is gradually coming out of his kinks but I tho't at first he'd have me arrested because of his opinion of War Brides. Brrr!! 
I know you'll write often as you can, dearest. I love you devotedly and think of you always, but I'm not longing for you too much. I want you to get the Kaiser. Ten thousand kisses and all my love -- Your lil' ol' wife -- Daphne.
