Tuesday nite

Dear Evelyn,

I am just home from the office where I gave Uncle George [The Georgia Power Company] several hours of my valuable time. This business of cutting in and cutting out is becoming very complex. They should make the requirements for the job to be an electrical engineer, C.P.A., and a draftsman, not even mentioning having a strong back; being a lighting engineer wouldn’t hurt either. Looks like I’ll have to become a service man to get my work done in forty hours a week.

We must take a hitch-hiking trip sometime, with you my luck would be very good. Just think of all the nice little back seats we could ride in together. It was good of Ray to carry you home, wasn’t it, and him knowing you wouldn’t be a prospect for Sinclair Gas anymore, that is in Cedartown.

I went down to see little Willie today, he said to tell you how sorry he was for the way he acted Sunday and that he would try not to let it happen again. He is not in such bad shape, new rings and a dozen other things will put him to rattling again.

Charles is still thrilled to the gills about Charlotte, he is in Calhoun tonight.

Lester, after talking with Lita [?] today, said he had decided to wait until he got to Atlanta to dress and for you to expect him. He also said to tell you how sorry he was about not being able to go to Atlanta Thursday.

Evelyn honey, please forgive my saying it so often but I do miss you so much, and as I have also said before I’ll never get over you and never intend to try even if I do become a pest. It isn’t often that I feel this way about a person, in fact this is the first time in about twenty-eight years that I’ve felt this way about anyone.

I still insist that I’m a lousy letter-writer and you must be tired of trying to figure this thing out, so will close. I’m still looking for that letter.

Love

Punkie

I suppose Sanders called you about the check being deposited, am enclosing proof if you save them.
