Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, 1945

1945-06-03 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 1

817-19 St. S.E.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
June 3, 1945
Dearest,
Another Sunday evening. Each week we get past us, the sooner the time will be for you to come home. Whenever I say home like that I mean the Sates, because it will be home whenever I can see you. And if you are in the States I can be with you. Some folks seem to think all mean will be back, and will be out of service before you can say "skat". I'm not so unrealistic as that. There is too much work to be done yet to expect magic action. 
Went to church. Canned three pints of pineapple. Ardie stopped for a brief visit. She brought me the wool housecoat she has been several seasons making. She says she had to hurry and finish it because the war might be over and I'd need it for the returned soldier! Isn't that hopeful? I got the cloth in the fall of '43. Maybe I sent you a sample before. Took some curtains for Dora and our bedroom curtain to the woman who does our curtains up these days. She lives on 30 St. S.E. and I stopped at Jack's on my way home. 
In Des Moines yesterday I got two big sticks of candy for Leone and Jack and took them to them tonight just for the fun of it. Leone giggled like she always does.

Saving...
