Dearest Evelyn,

There isn’t much to write about, just the Georgia Power Co. We certainly have been having trouble the last two days, had a regular storm last night, lost three transformersand had all sorts of trouble. Warren was sick again today and I had to read meters which was a pain. The iron campaign is starting and without a bang, no interest has been shown by anyone so far. Mrs. Matthews was down with Lillian today. I didn’t get to meet her, being out reading meters. Jack Buffington is leaving tomorrow, going to Gainsville with his father. He asked me what you said about his quitting. He was so concerned about what you thought about it that I made up some stuff and told him. Edna and Thomas are all wrapped up in the play they are putting on. I made a deal to paint some scenery for them for two passes, so we’ll go. Mr. Gilmore has been out of town for the past three days, in Rome and Atlanta, everyone is predicting another shake up. Lester is getting in good spirits again, he has had some nice sales lately. He was offered a nice job in South Ga. and is seriously considering taking it. Ridley Reynolds is still coming down trying to make us understand the rate reduction. So much for the Georgia Power Co.

I know you must be having a swell time, renewing old acquaintances, making a lot of new ones, and being with your family. There is no need for you to hurry back, of course I miss you, I’d almost give my left arm just to be with you tonight, but they love you too. Observe the wedding very close and then you can tell me what to do.

Our water heater came in today, an LG-40G2 Westinghouse, square with two heating units. You’ll like it I know. Remember you told me I could pick out the water heater. Hurry back so you can pick out a kitchen sink and I also saw some already made small cabinets that you should decide on.

I suppose this will be the last letter that could reach you before you leave so it will be the last, and, honestly, don’t you think four letters was darn good for me. I’m sure of one thing, you be firmly convinced that I’m the world’s worst writer. Please don’t ever grade one of them.

Last night (our Thursday night) sure was lonely. If we hadn’t been having so much trouble I believe I would have gone to Marietta so I could have enjoyed it more. I know I shouldn’t say this just now but next time you’ll find it more difficult in getting away from me for so long a time. I just won’t let you go. Not for ten days.

I love you

Punkie
