Salt Lake City, Utah: January 4, 1931



My dearest Sweetheart,

Just a little late in answering this time, but nevertheless, my thoughts are always with you. One month from tonight I will have you. Gee I’m sure getting anxious.

I’m keeping quite busy lately. Hyrum’s break is quite serious and he is still in the hospital. They haven’t put it in the cast yet as they have to keep a weight on it to stretch the bone in place. I’ve been going up to see him quite often and it sure takes time. The folks sure worry as they only hope for the best for all of us, and as the doctor says now, his leg will be shorter or an operation, which would be very serious! So you see there’s a lot more than merely expense for them to worry over but we just have to make the best of it. When dad went up this afternoon Martain was also there.

I’m sure getting my fill of cold weather before I leave. Since November there’s been a steady coat of snow on the ground. It’s been freezing cold in day as well as night. Maybe the weather there is not as warm as I fancy, but I sure can’t be disappointed.

New Year’s Eve was a rather quiet one this year. Ruby (you remember her, don’t you?) had a number of school friends over and we played bridge. I sure thought back two years when we were at your aunt’s place, next year we’ll make whoopee together again—how about a date?

Now to get together on things. Write and tell me just when to leave and a few other things. Taking a trip is altogether new to me, so you might be able to give me a couple of pointers. How I wish I was getting off the train at Berkeley right now!

I sure do like my fur George. I haven’t wore it here cause the smoke is sure terrible, so I’m waiting for clearer skies. It sure is lovely and thanks again.

It’s getting late and next to you, sleep is all I want right now. But I could easy go without that for you.

With all my love for just you,
Alice

Write soon
