<dateline>Friday—</dateline>

<salute>Dear Clarence:</salute>
</opener>

<p>Am really too tired to write 
but wanted to say "hello" and "I love you."
Am at Idris's. Is now 11:00 and
we just finished our work. Went out 
home after work and sprinkled 
my clothes and fixed dinner. She 
came out there after 6:00 and we ate 
and then came here. She washed 
and I ironed.</p>

<p>Had a fairly nice time last 
night. Dorothy went along too. Was 
home and in bed at 12:15.</p>

<p><unclear>Shais</unclear> phoned tonight. Howard
&amp; Wes both read notices today
to report the 26th. So guess the 
delay wasn't for long.</p>

<p>Played gin rummy with
Delores Cotter this noon and won 
12¢. Will probably lose it next 
time we play.</p>

<p>Well Honey — think I'll wash 
my face and get ready to crawl in.</p>

<p>Oh yes — Dick wired he is
coming home tomorrow. We sure 
wish you were too but maybe it 
won't be long.</p>

<p>Nightie Night Honey,</p>
