817-19 St S.E.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
August 6, 1945
Dearest,
The carrier brought your letter just as I was ready to leave home this morn. It is the long one you wrote July 10. They have all been coming out of order. The evening before you moved South was the last in date, but several old ones have come since. This letter today is certainly a good one. You try to answer my fat letters when Mrs Hunt asked me to discuss my job etc. I didn't have any information then that you thought I had received from you. I'm waiting for Mrs Sloan to call for me to meet her at lunch so I'm sitting alone in the office and making the pen go as fast as possible in the little time there will be. You know there has never been a moment that I'm not glad I'm your wife. Some people say they "have never regretted for a moment" but I'm so contented to be your wife that I have to put it positively that I've been contented every moment in order to express even a little of my feelings. It was because there was no information whatsoever, that I consented to write you about my need to make work decisions.

Saving...
