23 McKenzie Ave., June 3, 1940 Dear Folks,– Just a line to let you know that I’m still alive. This will likely be the last one you will get unless something unforeseen happens. It is very hot in my room to-night. I tried to take a snooze after supper but it was too hot. I…
23 McKenzie Ave., May 21, 1940 Dear Folks,– I always thought you were crazy and now I know it. The Ducks may be slow sometimes but when they go, they really go and get places in a short time. I would like to have seen the Happy Gang too. I think you get more kick…
23 McKenzie Dr. May 17, 1940 Dear Folks, — It doesn’t seem more than 5 minutes hardly since I was writing you last but I’ll drop you a line again. I got yours to-day. You’ve had a quiet week, I gather – lots of rain to lull you to sleep. I posted that grease yesterday…
23 McKenzie Ave., May 8, 1940 Dear Folks, — It seems to me to be longer than three days since you were here but I guess it isn’t. You said Sunday night that you didn’t think any forsythias would be out yet in London. The first thing I noticed on Monday morning on my way…
23 McKenzie Ave., May 3, 1940 Dear Folks, — I got your letter to-day and I thought it was about time I was hearing from you. It was a pretty good letter too. I haven’t had the flu yet. I’m rather tired to-night. Only got 4 1/2 hrs sleep last night. I hope to catch…
23 McKenzie Ave., May 1, 1940 Dear Folks,– Well, here it is May already. I can’t keep up with time. I suppose you have been getting some rain too. It has poured here most all day to-day. It was raining quite hard to-day when I came home at noon and it just poured while I…
23 McKenzie Ave., April 24, 1940 Dear Folks, — This doesn’t seem like Wednesday night but I guess it is. Well I’m having a very good time this week – much better than I expected. I’m not even having very much work to do. I’m getting to bed at 11 and 11:30 these nights and…
23 McKenzie Ave., April 17, 1940. Dear Folks, – I received your letter to-night. I wasn’t home at noon and didn’t get here until about 5:45 to-night. I was at Rigney’s again. I think the lessons went better to-day. He didn’t have a great deal to say but I don’t know how many marks he…
23 McKenzie Ave., April 12, 1940. Dear Folks, — Just a line to-night. There isn’t much new. I looked for a letter from you to-day but didn’t get it so will look again to-morrow. I think I’m going to stay in to-night, unless I change my mind suddenly. The shows in this town are not…
I like this letter. I found it interesting that they ordered in ice cream from the drug store, and the illicit nature of the eating of ice cream. I wonder why she didn’t want her landlady to know? 23 McKenzie Ave., April 10, 1940. Dear Folks, — I nearly forgot that I am supposed to…
