Noon, Monday

My dearest Evelyn,

To keep my promise I want to let you know that I got back to Cedartown allright, didn’t get sleepy or even have any punctures. I’m not sleepy today either. Gilmore and I have been making iron displays and talking over the coming campaign. Everytime he leaves the office I go back and talk to Edna about you. Edna and I have a lot in common to discuss about you. We agree on everything, how lovely and pretty you are, how completely unselfish you are and your friendliness, and such a remarkable person in every way. It’s a good thing Edna isn’t a boy or I would be jealous.

I believe you were at your sweetest last night, simply perfect. I had a wonderful time.

I can’t complain about not having assistance on my job today, Van, Jack, and Smitty are helping me – I mean they are doing it all. It’s fun telling men what to do next and not having someone tell you. I feel right important from Gilmore’s attitude and most of all from the things you said last night.

And now finally getting around to you, how do you feel after an all night ride in a day coach. Hope your dad was there on time to meet you, if he wasn’t let me know and I’ll speak to him.

I don’t know how to say it but “hang in there and pitch” don’t let anyone change your mind, change some minds yourself. Remember “it’s great to be a Georgian,” and that

I love you

Punkie

P.S. You’ll never know the thrill I got out of addressing the envelope.
