Dearest Evelyn,

Many thanks for calling tonight, it was a pleasant surprise. Sorry I talked so long or wouldn’t give you a chance to say good-bye but you’ll be able to pay the bill now I know. My health has improved 100% since talking with you, the trouble must have been mostly mentally, just worried over not being able to see you tomorrow. I’m sure that the cold will all be gone by Thursday.

I’m just back from the fireman’s meeting, we elected a new member, Albert Moore. He should be a good member especially for night fires. Hoyt was voted on but he had two votes against him which threw him out.

I know you’ll be embarassed if the check bounces back and if it does I’ll give you another one (a good one tooO when I see you.

The business of telling people that we are to be married has been good these past two days, got to see lots of people when reading meters. When they start griping about their bill I get around to telling them about gonna get married and they stop fussing and start giving advice.

Take good care of yourself, don’t work too hard and turn in lots of watts, stay smart as you are and keep on loving me. Those are orders.

Thanks again for calling, I’ll see you Thursday, and another thing –

I love you

Orville
