Jeanne, Jane and I have been laughing and giggling around
all day. We climaxed the day by going to the show and eating and laughing
ourselves sick. I wish I hadn’t tho’ because George was coming over.
George's letter home:
Love, Brother
Jane's Note: I see he spelled Mom's name "Anne" which is the way his mother's name was spelled. It is some time before his letters begin to show the correct spelling "Ann".
George's letter home:
Dear Mother,
The cold spell has broken to some extent now, and I can go
up on the sleeping porch without freezing to death. It rained today; I guess
that was the reason that it broke.
I saw Ernest DeGraff today and he was withdrawing from
school. His father was on his way south, took ill on Thanksgiving day, and was
gone that night. I didn’t ask him what was wrong, because I know that I
wouldn’t like to be questioned under such circumstances. He is going to work
with the company that was employing his father. Some boys certainly have it
tough at times; things like that make me realize how very fortunate I really
am.
I had two pictures finished and they will cost four dollars;
but I will not need that money for nine days. That book I ordered for Anne [sic] will be here in two weeks as you know; I thought you might call the
special Order Dept., at Gills, about that time and see if it has really
arrived. Then I wish you would send me that green dictionary that is around the
house somewhere. I have a course this term, which does not brook any misspelled
words.
No more news now, Mother. It is getting too close to exams
to have any real news.
