Dearest Morris

 Sat. Night and here I sit!!  Just think if I were home I would be with you.  My uncle (who is 22) wanted me to go with this boy but I wouldn’t.  He tried to tell me that you would go out on me.  He said no boy could stay at home for 6 weeks and not go out with a girl.  But I told him I can trust you!!  Boy, you had better not go out.  After all remember you’re going steady, you little dear.  Well, enough for that.     

Sue got a letter today from Jimmy and he said he saw you and you said that you didn’t hear from me.  Well do you know I only have had two whole letters from you?  And I know I’ve written you at least 6 times.  So darling do write me more.  I’ll expect a letter Mon.  huh?     

All we did yesterday was wash and iron.  Today dad & Mom went to grand Rapids to visit, they took Freddie so us girls had the whole day to ourselves.  Sue and I didn’t get up til 12 o’clock.  Ate breakfast, and stayed down at the restaurant til 4 o’clock as Helen had to work today.  Then my aunt gave us a weiner roast tonight out in the yard.  I just finished rolling my hair.  Helen went out but Se & I had to say in.  But I don’t care as they went skating, and they all can skate so good.     

OH, I got those little things for your car yesterday, and they are so cute.  Have you tried to get another car lately?  Boy, I hope you have one when we get back, not that the one you got isn’t a beauty.  But it at least gets us places, doesn’t it?     

Goodness its’ 9 o’clock.  You are probably at the show now. Wish I were in Ocala at the Marion right now.     

It made Sue so mad today.  Dixie, Helen, and a boy down at the restaurant got Sue’s letter from Jimmy this morning and teamed it open.  Boy, they kidded her all day about it.     

Well darlington please write me till I let you know when we go to Wisconsin.  I think we’ll be there for about 2 more weeks.

Love ya' aways
Barbara

P.S.

I Love you

Do you love me??
