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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
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.
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…

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.

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.
With a Carload of Love...
