My Dearest Evelyn,

It was a great relief to find out from Edna that you were feeling allright to-day. That made the trip perfect in every way, being afraid of it hurting you was my only worry. Honest, honey, that was the grandest week end that I’ve ever spent. I wish that someone else from here had gone with us so we could discuss the trip because it is all that I have thought about all day. Forest City, Lake Lane [?], Newfound Gap, Gatlinburg, Ashville, Maryville, mountains, cottages, swinging bridges, Tennessee, North Carolina, and ten thousand other things mean so much more to me now that I’ve been there. That trip is going near the top of the list of the things that I owe to you.

I hope that you didn’t mind driving back to Marietta alone last night. I could have followed you through there but I just didn’t think and you wouldn’t have let me anyway.

Thank goodness this G.C. campaign is over for us even if you do have to keep on selling them. My total was 105 which was enought to win top prize, the next highest being 99. When the comission check comes for those we will take a trip or do something. I shall always remember our glare chaser campaigns, the first one I met you and the next one I fell in love with you, wonder what the next one will bring.

Maybe it was before the campaign that I fell in love with you, I don’t know when it happened but the point is I certainly did fall and didn’t do a half way job of it either. Don’t ever doubt that. Lady, you have something on your hands that is going to be hard to dispose of.

I don’t know why but I’m sleepy and must go home to bed, just always remember that;

I love you

Punkie
