My dearest George:
Glad that you’re getting along fine dear, and that you haven’t
forgotten me. From your letter it seems you were waiting for an answer. Surely
a letter was not lost. The last one I got from you was written on your
birthday. I answered the same day I got it. Was there a letter lost or did I
just misunderstand your letter. Well anyhow, a “fair exchange is no robbery”
and we both received a letter from each other; and here I am writing again.
But it won’t be long soon—just think next month we see and have each
other for good. Won’t it be heaven on earth to have each other in our little
home—a real home for just us two. There’ll be something more than just a fire
to keep us warm. How I’d like to cuddle up with you in a corner now then my
dreams would be true.
When I do come down, I hope you won’t be disappointed. As far as money
is concerned, I’m broke but I’ve tried to keep out of debt: The wages I get
here just do keep me.
Thirteen a week is all I get so you can see by the time I give the
folk some, carfare and soon there isn’t much if any left to be put in the bank
for that rainy day. As the average pay is higher there, I think I could make
more headway. But when we once get together on it, I think it will be easier,
don’t you? We’re willing to give it a trial and prove it.
“Am I blue?” not only for you but it’s cold here. Our room has no
radiator and the door’s closed so I can feel my fingers getting stiff from
gliding on this cold paper. Everybody’s in bed but mother who is sewing. I was
too but I had more important things to do so left her, & here I am.
I’ll say good night for this time and go & dream of days to come.
My love for you is growing stronger each day and I know there is no one on this
earth who can equal you, so I am content to wait & I am sure we’ll be happy
with each other.
Hoping all is well & that I may hear from you soon.
With all my love,
Alice
