Monday Morning

My dear Orville,

I really didn’t know I would miss you as much as I have – you have become so much a part of my everyday life that it is hard to adjust without you. But I will try not to be too lonesome.

I started on my quilt Saturday. Mama & Carolyn went visiting so Mary & Elsie came & stayed with me. They were lots of company. Saturday night Mary Jo & Don came by on the way to take Sue back to Milan for me to go with them but I didn’t go.

Of course Mama & Carolyn went to Sunday School & church. Papa & I stayed here. He slept most of the time. Hall, Thelma & Sue came in the afternoon. they have adopted Sue – so of course her name is Galloway. I believe I think Janice May is lots cuter. Sue will have lots of advantages that Janice won’t however.

Lillian (Joe’s mother) went to Latonia Key (?) to visit her husband for a few days. If I stay a month you may have to come see me in the meantime.

I rec’d the deposit slip from Mr. Thrasher just after you left. It was for $70.23 – I had checked 39.00 that would leave you 30.00 to check on – one for Mark 10.00 Exchange 3.00 Stubbs & H 3.00 Cobbs 3.00 and 10.00 for your expenses (they should run less with the money you left with) Try to have some of it left for with the gasoline bills our bills will be rather high the 6^th. Let me know what checks you wrote – or rather send me a check book & leave the stub showing them –

Well darling in spite of dollars and cents – and there being no balance – there is an overflow of love in my heart for you. To prove this I had better tell you again to be careful of your diet & don’t work too hard & get too hot.

I love you

Evelyn.

I wrote Agnes yesterday-

Take care of my mail that you don’t forward.
