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.
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.
So I had a few memories on the train yesterday. Oh yes – on the train you know what I did? I read & re-read your letter about 20 times. The letter you wrote to me Sunday. Yes honey I’ll forgive you. I “like?” you – did you say like? – I told you once before, I more than merely like you.
With a Carload of Love...
