Saturday morning
My dear Orville -
I will do as you suggested about coming home. I don’t know yet just how I will arrange it but will let you know in plenty of time. I would like for you you to come for me but for two reasons I don’t think it best. First because I don’t think we should push the car’s good record. Second, it would be too hard a trip on both of us and I prefer you taking your time off to go to Macon – I am going to take you up on that trip.
Find out what Ralph & Jessie Mae want to do about the stove. If they want to take it back be sure to buy the new grate. If they prefer to sell it rather than move it then offer them whatever you think reasonable for it – we will have to buy something to heat that room and a stove was satisfactory last year so guess we had better not risk gas. We might ruin what little furniture we already have – I have my doubts about the health angle too for all time use. If they do take it & Mrs. Pace uses hers like it then we will buy one – maybe from Sears.
Uncle Alvin is worse, Mama & Papa are going tomorrow. Mr. & Mrs. Adams are going as far as Lexington to a wedding. Uncle Ewin will go also. I didn’t want to go anyway. It is much hotter now is the reason I didn’t want to go & thought the confusion might worry me – It is fairly cool here at home.
I appreciate all the nice things you said about me in your letter and shall try to live up to them. I think we have lots of good times to look forward to. Perhaps this year has been hard for both of us but even so I love you even more than at this same time last year. I am trying very hard to get well and have come a long way but realize more and more that I’ve a long way to go to get back my old self again. But I promise to do my best to keep all of it to myself –
Give my regards to the family
I love you
Evelyn.
