5-1939 Orville to Evelyn (undated – estimate 5-1939)

[given subject matter I place this in May of 1939]

Cedartown, Ga.

Monday night.

My dear Evelyn,

I hope that you are all rested and feel better than you did last night or rather yesterday afternoon, you seemed to feel better last night.

It was glorious having you so near for so long a time. Your impression at home was a complete triumph, I’m even jealous of Mamma she talks about you so much now. After her telling me what a sweet, lovely, fine, and beautiful girl she thought you were made it easy for me to tell her that we were going to be married. She wasn’t surprised either, said she had expected it and was glad that I’d found someone that I really loved and wanted to settle down with. The first thing I told her was that she was going to lose one of her children, she said that she was going to gain one instead. You can add her to your long list of friends and take it from me she’s a darn good one.

Honey take care of yourself I’d die if anything happened to you now. Don’t work too hard or worry about regrets. Don’t stop, most of all, being in love with me fro I know now that I’ll love you always.

Yours

Orville
