Letters from Wallie illustrates a beautiful courtship, romance and marriage with wife Mabel via mail by rail from Wausau to Milwaukee in 1930s Wisconsin before and during the Great Depression.
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.
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.
…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.
With a Carload of Love...
