My darling
boy:
I received
your most precious letter a few days later than I expected, but nevertheless, I
had the joy of knowing I love you more than ever now. You said something about
I may give you reason to be jealous—I don’t see how I could ever do that. There
isn’t a fellow here in Salt Lake even who you could be jealous of. I’m all
yours and no one can take me from you. I hope no one will try to make me
jealous of you when I come down there, cause I want you to be all mine.
Herb and his
friends returned from their trip a week ago last Saturday. He said they had a
good time and all the rest of it but there’s no place like Salt Lake. All three
of them sure liked you and told me I sure had a swell friend. (I knew this
though)
I hope you
and your new manager will get along so you’ll keep on liking your work like you
have done in the past. I’ve had a change in the office too which isn’t so hot.
One of our stenographers left Saturday to get married. Along with my work,
which was more in the line of bookkeeping and handling all the gold, I have
her’s—write letters and announce all the patients. Two girls’ work for one
salary. If I get brave enough I think I’ll try for another job and get more
experience. I’ve worked with the Union Dental a year last April, and it is
about the only place I have worked along this line in my life. A change might
be as good as a rest.
I surely
would enjoy showing you through mother’s garden this year. We had lawn planted
in the back. A two yard strip of flowers
borders the walk out to the back yard. The Tall yellow “golden glows” blooming
among holly hocks makes a pretty sight to look at from my window. I sure wish
you were here to see it.
I guess I’d
better say good night, my eyes are kind of tired. I used them at work all day
readying. Tonight I finished a little luncheon set I made for us; I hope you’ll
enjoy eating from it. The main color is pink. What colors do you like for
things like that. Personally the more pink, the better. I’m certainly getting
lonesome for you. How I’d love to have you here and plan things with me. Seems
like I just can’t make this pen tell you all that’s in my heart, but someday,
and I hope time flies fast, I’ll tell you face to face, and you’ll do the same.
With all my
love
Alice.
(Best wishes
from the folks.)
