Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, November-December 1942

1942-12-17 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 3

been sent to Washington D.C. probably for the rest of the war. He talked about getting your address from me (but I never heard from him) Ray said and asked if he had. Ray thought he might see you some time when you could be off. Do you suppose he took his cowboy boots to D.C.? I told Leone Anthonys had written you and she was pleased. I said you were wanting to go but didn't know just when if you had night problems. I think it was especially nice of them to invite you for whenever you can go rather than have them expecting you to get a pass some day they set. Harry has so much better luck getting time off that I thought they might not realize his situation was especially fortunate and expect you could manage the same way. Just thinking of your letter has kept me feeling good -- extra good -- inside all evening. It is late and I'm tired and all but I could just go on and on talking to you this way. The letter that came today was the one you wrote on Monday. If my letters help you then I'm glad; yours are what makes it possible for me to be tough enough to get along here alone. But not alone ever because you are never gone from me in spirit or love. I am now going to tell you how well I sleep every night in the place you fix. There is no place like it to be when its the place fixed by one's own loving husband. I'm glad you are good to the young lad interested
