Dearest Evelyn,

It was nice of you to call, I was so thrilled and excited that I hardly knew what I was saying. You were right I would have been a very disappointed person int he morning without a letter from you. I still will be, a little, even after the call. This loneliness is terrible, I know that I don’t get to see you often but knowing that you are so far away makes quite a difference. I love you more than anything in the world.

I was in the show when your call came. Bette Davis in “Dark Victory” was showing. It was a grand picture, think you said you saw it in Marietta.

We are going to get an engineer, Frank Aldridge from Rome, he is a good one and will be a valuable addition to our district. It means that I can drop some of my engineering duties but as I told you Sam is going to Carrollton and I’ll take up some service work. They say variety is the spice of life, well mine should be well spiced. It is convenient for us though, not having to tell Sam to move and will give us more time to make the place look like a home.

James H. Griffin of the Carrollton district was in the office today and he pinned me down about this marriage business. I told him that I couldn’t tell him anything definite until I heard from you, however I admitted to him that I was for it. He wished me luck.

I heard Roy Admas was getting married tonight, looks like the hat is definitely lost, but I’m still willing to marry you hat or no hat.

It’s still raining here and the grass is getting taller and thicker, sure hope the climatic conditions are different in West Tennessee.

Listen Lady, if I don’t get a letter from you by Thursday I’ll be awfully dissapointed in you for the first time, but regardless of letters I’ll still

Love You

Punkie
