Aug. 24, 1936 Dearest darling hubby: I got your letter and card today, telling me you are going to Milwaukee, will that mean you might come to Cleveland? I wrote you a letter yesterday and mailed it to the Soo, so I’m going to take on mailing this at Mackinaw City. How is my darling hubby? O.K. I hope. I got a card from Wirt today. He is vacationing at Cedar Point. I wonder who he has with him, don’t you? Boy he sure is a changed man. You know that little Standard Oil station next door? It is changed to G[?] now. Don’t they have quite a time with it. If we go to Zanesville, we will ask them downstairs to take of Bounce and if they aren’t going to be home I guess the old man will take him or shall I ask Wirt? I heard some business men talking the other day, and they were saying that all the Communists were voting Roosevelt. Darling please tell me if you have sent Charlie the money for those flowers. And please honey can’t you write oftener to me. I am so homesick for you and all I think about is those nice cold evenings when we would go to bed and you would put your arm around me and hold me tight. Just think sweetie, four more months and then Xmas. And maybe in a little less than that you’ll be home for good, and honey, I just know I couldn’t bear to have you sail another season. And honey you owe me 2 bucks. Honey if I knew for sure you would be in Buffalo some Sunday I would come. Gee, I wish you could have made it home Sunday for awhile. I come sick the other and have some nice cramps, but guess I am rather anemic for I come such a little bit I wish you could go to Zanesville with me. I would like my relatives to see you. I suppose you don’t like the idea of tarps but honey doesn’t it seem that makes it seem like you’ll be coming home soon? Well honey I want this to go out on the 8 o’clock pick up. And maybe you won’t even get this. Do you realize how much I spend on postage and stationary writing to you. Anyhow honey, I love you and want to see you as bad as you want to see me, and then some. Honey be careful and don’t forget to keep on loving me cause I’m still crazy about you, your loving wife Ethel | |
