Berkeley, July 16, 1930




Alice, my Darling,
Receiving your wonderful letter this morning has made me so happy, it was twice as easy to do my days work, and there was plenty of it, because to-morrow is $-day. Besides it was announced in the meting to-day that the Domestic-Dept. is going over 100%, thats another thing for me to be proud of.
But sweetheart, as far as my vacation is concerned, there isnt much hope, even if I did get a week, it would take 4 days for travelling and would leave only a few hours to be with you.  So I will have to ask you to bring up all your patience and stick it out till next Spring.  Then I think it would be the best for you to come down here, by then I’ll get everything ready for a cozy little next for us two. My idea at first, and I think yours too, was to get married in the temple, but here the best we can do is to have a bishop wed us. You dont mind that, do you dear? About you going to work, dont worry about that. As soon as my car is paid for (3 more months) I will be making enough for us two to live on. Should it really be too lonesome for you alone at house, well then I think there would be something to do for you.  As it appears, I will be here in Berkeley for quite a while, especially if bussiness keeps on the increase and of course there would be no use to ask for being transferred so soon, this place is as good as any to live in and I am sure you would like it too. The cost of living is high here for a single person but two could make out quite nice. The best for us to do is to get a fairly good apartment for $25- to 30.- a month, later on when my position is in a permanent location, we can think of buying furniture etc.

My uncle Kurt has been ordered to move by Aug. 1st since unc Leo got married again and his new wife insists on moving in the house my good uncle has just finished improving, for more than one year he has spent his spare time on working one the house, and I myself stayed home many a Sunday, built two garages etc., and Martins mother has done so much for Leo’s family, its simply a shame. But Martins father has bought a place now, so that nobody can drive him out again.

I am getting so sleepy now so I guess I better sign off. I like to have a nice long letter from you real soon, please let me know just what you think to my ideas.



Dreaming of the wonderfull days to come I remain, with kind regards to your dear folks and with all my love for just you
