Boy! I’m glad that you are actually coming home. I’ll be waiting for you & have a dinner ready. How’s Zat?
I’m really getting very sick of this baching it & nobody can blame me for it in the least.

[So I overheard that] Some of our neighbors will have a baby too …if that’s a fact 69th Ave will be the scene of “doll parades.”

One day less for you and I and Nancy Lee to be apart, isn’t it? We have to make each day count now, haven’t done much for the time I’ve been here.
Thursday, February 19, 1931
You mustn’t work too hard, Dear. You know, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
Wednesday, February 18, 1931
So Nancy has a big dairy farm… she has something which her Grandpa Polzin is still trying to bring about — they didn’t get that loan yet I understand.
Tuesday, February 17, 1931
You have been very faithful Dear Heart, and I love you more for it.
Monday, February 16, 1931
I wasn’t kidding you, my darling. I already have those parts back which I told you I wanted plated for Nancy’s buggy. They look real nice. The buggy looks very pretty in daylight.

I don’t want to be bold my darling but I feel terribly downcast to be here all alone day in & day out. Won’t you please try & come home to me soon? The meals I’m getting are getting worse everyday I don’t feel like eating anymore. All I ate today all day was bread & coffee. Soon I’ll not even eat that much anymore. It’s no fun like this, my darling. You’ll agree with me, I’m sure.

I’m so glad that those flowers reached you in time for the “big day” – Valentine. Yes sir! the sweetest valentine in the world, and you’re it, dearest.
Friday, February 13, 1931
I’m so happy Dear, I just received the flowers from you. They’re so pretty and smell so sweet. You’re so wonderful Dear. Now I hope I receive a letter from you too, because they’re so interesting to read.

Everybody thinks she’s a sweet baby but they can’t think she’s as sweet as we do, can they, Dear?
Wednesday, February 11, 1931
Sure thing [those girls] have been terribly nosey. But remember dearest they didn’t pass the last day of their life either yet. So how as they know how they’ll fare with their score…
Tuesday, February 10, 1931
She’s getting along just fine, and I feel the same way, so don’t worry about us, Sweetheart. Be sure to take good care of yourself.
Monday, February 9, 1931
I just love to watch her — she’s so sweet, Wallie. She makes the funniest little noises while sleeping, and stretches her little arms so cute. She delights in cuddling up real close to me. We’ll both love her so much, Sweetheart.

Nancy Leigh Dawn was born on this day in Wausau to Mabel & Walter Polzin of West Allis, Wisconsin.
Tuesday, February 3, 1931
Please believe me dear I miss you more than I would miss my right arm. Won’t you please hurry and come back to me? I wish everything would be over with so we could be side by each again. Then our little nest would be complete again.
Monday, February 2, 1931
…the time from now until then will go so fast — it will be here before you realize it.
Sunday, February 1, 1931
I hope nobody gets the wrong impression because we both love each other more than ever, don’t we Sweetheart?

Let the money matters take care of themselves… it’s better to pay what they ask & not work too hard than working your head off & paying for the “privilege” besides…
Friday, January 30, 1931
I miss you more & more my little darling. Last night I stopped in at the Ford Garage & they have a Radio – there was such sad music that I got the real downright blues. Honest, dear heart I almost had to cry.
Thursday, January 29, 1931
How is my little pal today? Fine I hope. I’m feeling fine too. So if you feel fine & I feel fine then we’re all fine.
Wednesday, January 28, 1931
You ask me how I like cooking – well here’s the low down – I don’t like it much.
Tuesday, January 27, 1931
[Dad’s] chest hurts him terribly so tonight I’m going to see that it’s greased with lard & turpentine — your remedy.
Monday, January 26, 1931
I love you so much Wallie, I didn’t realize how much until now. Take good care of yourself — I will too.
Wednesday, January 21, 1931
We have to order another ton of coal today. Are you still burning wood? This coal we have certainly heats good — better than coke.

I hope Dr. Reist will keep it out of the paper. “Eight months” babies never live, do they? But “seven months” do, I’ve heard. Whatever it is, we’ll be satisfied — other people don’t count anyway.

I’m a fine one I tell you in a letter that I was returning the snapshot picture then I forget all about it. If I happen to think about or rather if my memory will stretch so far till I finish this letter then I’ll enclose them. Don’t, please, my little sweetheart be angry at me for what I did to one of them, will you?
Saturday, April 20, 1929
Let’s see now just what were those other two pictures about? I remember now, one must have been fit for a “garter” ad of someone who is the “star”?
Friday, April 19, 1929
I’m sending this letter by Special Delivery so you’ll have it as a substitute for my being with you. I’m sending 1000 kisses along as proxies.
Thursday, April 18, 1929
I just “made” that train by one minute. So you see it pays to have a watch upon which you can bet your last dollar… I better not pride myself too much with it or something might go chicken wire with it.
Tuesday, April 16, 1929
I wish I could get near a radio this afternoon so I can pass the time listening to a ball game.
Monday, April 15, 1929
You are so good to me my darling and I love you so much. I love you more each day. God bless you sweetheart.
Monday, April 1, 1929
Did you gather up all the pearls you “cast before the swine” last night? (I’m the swine.) I hope you didn’t lose any.
Thursday, March 28, 1929
You can readily see my dear sweetheart, that those people who give me half of a chance readily can see and also read my character traits. That includes all people who I have occasion to meet. My face and heart are an open book to all and don’t require an airdrill to penetrate. I don’t never have to put myself on guard – no never.
Wednesday, March 27, 1929
You see, my darling I must look nice & neat when I’m with you. Because you look so neat & faultless always and my darling I feel so proud about your appearance always. You are a queen.
Monday, March 25, 1929
…I glanced down on my vest and what do you suppose I discovered? I bet your thinking of a “gravy spot.” No my darling, if you thought that you are far off the track – I found one of your hair – that right away brought me memories of our wonderful thrilling “hour & ½ wake.”
Thursday, March 21, 1929
…we both love each other more dearly than ever before that’s the effect trouble should have on love. After every spout of trouble love again appears on top & stronger than before.

…I’ve made you no elaborate funny promises but my fare is honest my heart is in the right place & I have great ambition & persistence & I’ll conquer very easily with a partner in life who is true, sympathetic & inspiring… as I told you I thought you are.

I shouldn’t really be the one – there are in my estimation a whole carload of nicer fellows right in your own town than I am…
But don’t start looking for them now otherwise I’ll be out of luck.
Monday, February 25, 1929
With all the love in the world for you my dearest I’ll sign off and go to my land of dreams…
maybe I’ll meet you there tonight.
Thursday, February 21, 1929
Oh my, oh my! how much do I care for you! More than myself – every inch of me is plugging for you all day long…
Since I met you my dearest, life is so sweet & interesting. Honest before I met you I often began to wonder what life was “all about anyway.” There wasn’t much to hold my interest in it. But now! I’m so glad to be alive and live just for you.
Wednesday, February 20, 1929
Do you know a secret? Course you don’t but I do & I’ll share it with you. I have your picture on my dresser this morning the sun shone into my room and it shone right on your smiling beautiful face and from the two – the sun & your smile – your smile was the warmest & brightest.
