Sunday aft

My dear Punky

Well, I got the “pink” dress yesterday. Nell came by for me at 9 a.m. and we didn’t get back until 5:30 p.m. With the exception of the time we ate lunch – we stood all day. She had quite a bit to do just as I did and it simply took all day – Paul arrived about noon. They went back to Cartersville last night. Both were quite apologetic about how things turned out Friday night. (No regrets on my part however).

It would have been so nice just to have fallen in bed as soon as I returned yesterday aft – Dick came however before dinner. It was quite a “battle of wits” to know just waht to say – especially since I was feeling so tired – I am not sure just how good or bad I got the idea across – but I did.

Punky make your plans to suit your convenience this week – I will understand. Not that I am not selfish enough to want to see you all your free time but this is one time I will be as considerate as you were to me about last night. I know you will not want to leave town too much and that you are obligated this weekend. And with all sincerity I want you to do the right thing about it and most of all satisfy your own self in regard to what you do or do not do – or say.

I followed your advice about resting today. I slept quite late and have only been out of my room long enough to go eat dinner – slept through breakfast.

Again – don’t inconvenience yourself to come over this week – that sounds so blunt but surely you understand that I’m really trying to say is that I love you and will love you just as much whether you can find time to come or not. And you can find time to write me can’t you? That is is enjoyed next next [best] to seeing or talking with you –

I have thought of you all day and regardless of the complications we spoke of – the fact remains that

I love you heaps –

Evelyn
