My dearest Sweetheart,
How is my dearest boy tonight? I’m just fine with the exception I’m
sure missing you, and will be till we meet again.
Your last letter sure was sweet. I have let a few days pass before
answering it as I wrote you just the night before I received yours. Alright,
isn’t it. Funny what that box of bones caused. They’ve been taken away now,
but my little box sure won’t be. It’s going to stay right with me.
I’m so glad dear you’re going to try for a temple marriage. I sure
hope we succeed cause everybody says how much more it means. One of my best
friends at the office, she sure is a sweet girl, was married in the Temple not
so long ago and she wrote & told me not to pass this chance up. She knows I’m
planning on getting married. I’m not such a good tithing payer now either. I’ve
always told mother its too hard and expensive but if you’re willing, why shouldn’t
I too so I’ll be sure of a recommend.
Oh gee—it’s all so thrilling and exciting I just wish you were
here so you could plan things with me. June does seem a long ways off but after
all it’s a better time. Summer will be here and we can both enjoy some of Salt
Lake’s fun spots before saying good bye. It will give us both a good time to
save and plan.
About the wedding—would
you like a reception or just the families. Give me an idea so we can kind of
figure things out. Dad says he would like to have the house finished by then. I
sure hope so.
We had grandma & grandpa & Uncle Merald down for dinner
today. Of course they asked about you and our plans and I told them. Grandma
sure is pleased and said she’s just as glad about it as I am. Merald sure
things I’m getting a fine fellow (How well I know). They said to tell you
hello, so here goes “Hello!” Mother went to Sunday School and I stayed home and
did the cooking. With our family included, I sure did cook. But it’s kind of
fun. I don’t want to practice on you & ruin your stomach any more than
necessary.
This is getting to be a pretty quiet place. Nothing exciting or
interesting has happened lately, so there’s no news. Cooked till noon, washed
dishes an hour, I was so tired I slept for a while in the afternoon, took Erma
for a walk, went to Church, had supper, and here I am in my room writing to
you. That’s the routine for today.
Well George I’m kind of dreamy & sleepy. I’ve been thinking
about you so much and wondering just what to say, but there is nothing that
could be said, and more effective that—I love you. Write soon dear, and if time
keeps on flying as it has done in the past, it won’t be long till we’ll be in
each other’s arms forever, never to be separated like this again.
With all my love, I am
Your Alice
