Monday Night

My dear Punky,

After such a perfect weekend I have had plenty to occupy my throughts tonight. The “big moment” was when I saw the flowers. Surely my family would have said that even I put on quite a demonstration – and you have heard my apologies for lack of such – even though I always appreciate gifts and the thoughts behind them. Somehow though my thoughts and actions toward you are an exception to every rule. For example, I did exactly what I wanted to do to express my appreciation – such an easy and natural thing in this case where it is usually quite difficult. While on the other hand another exception is just opposite – under ordinary circumstances I usually manage a steady flow of conversation but some how in your presence I fall into a state of contentment more easily described as “blankful bliss.” It is so easy to let you make decisions.

I had a letter from Momee this morning wanting to know how many guests to expect and when we would arrive in order to make reservations – wish Uncle George could manage without you anytime I needed a chauffeur. Anyway we will make our demands on him about the last of April or first of May. I find myself getting anxious to see the family as the time grows nearer. I shall miss seeing you however – but will see you Thursday - which is something I am looking forward to –

Love

Evelyn

P.S. I had to borrow some of Uncle George’s stationery or wait until tomorrow to write – also I offer apologies for poor writing. I am in bed due to a sore throat developed in late afternoon due to being out in rain quite a bit today –
