Salt Lake City, Utah: October 19, 1930




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 weddingwould 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
