Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, 1945

1945-06-02 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 1

June 2, 1945
Dearest, Here we sit solemn as a bunch of deacons waiting for the institute speaker to appear.  It is more like a winter storm, not terribly cold but dark and chilly.  Stayed at the Brown Hotle last night.  Had adjoining rooms with a staff member from Psychopathic Hospital Social Services.  Then breakfast at the coffee shop at the Franklin.  Then her to the meeting.  We have a very special person to give us four hours of lecture today.  The speaker came, we had our instruction and she was better than I had hoped.  So I'm well pleased that I took the time, money, and effort to come.  I wonder if any mail came to our house from you.  Whenever it comes it will be most welcome and by far the best item of the week.  I hate to be away from our house even one night for fear some word might come from you.  Besides that, you are closer when I stay where I know you picture me as being.  I always take the white clock with me because I need a reliable time piece and it travels well.  And it is your present to me from before the time I was your wife.  The little pocketbook can't serve my needs when I'm out of town so I don't take it very often to D. M. and never on other business trips.  Besides I don't want to wear it out while you are gone.  The clock wears out no faster because it goes to D.M. and I have it run to keep up with the time in order to get you home again.  I love my husband.  To my laddie, Laura
