Salt Lake City, Utah: October 15, 1930




My dearest Sweetheart,

Thanks a million and one times for those lovely presents! Oh George that sure is sweet of you! All three of them are just wonderful. Even the little true blue bow that was tied around them is appreciated. I just wish I could give you a nice big kiss.

I sure love this parcel that expresses your kindness and sweet remembrances, but best of all I love its giver, you George. What on earth makes you such a sweet boy? You just don’t know how proud I am of you, and how thrilled I am to know that you are going to be my own. Oh how I yearn for spring—just the thought of seeing you makes my blood tingle, but even more than this—be married to the dearest boy on earth. It just can’t be too soon dear. I’m going to do my best to make you happy, for I know you deserve it and it is my greatest desire.

Oh I’ll have to tell you how things match up. I made me a brown canton crepe dress. I’m quite proud of my sewing on this dress, even if I do say so myself & I’ve had a lot others tell me the same thing. The handkerchief is just another finishing touch to my brown outfit. How did you guess? I’m sure tickled with the little box. I put all my treasures in it—namely your sweet letters, bracelet, necklace, samples of your work in Germany, the little lavender slip, the handkerchief your mother gave you, and several cards from you. The underwear sure is lovely. When I slip it on I’ll slip in front of a camera and send you a snap—how’s that? And again I want to say thanks and I sure like them.

I’m going to hop off now so good night dear. Always remember dear that back on that good old “Utah Trail” there’s someone waiting for you and thinking of you always.

May God bless every foot in front of you and keep you safe for me dear.

Your sweet heart
Alice
