From AEP, Piedmont Ave, Berkeley
Saturday night
Dearest George,
It is such a pleasure and such a thrill to come home from
being out all morning to find a lovely fat letter from you waiting for me. You
made beautiful connections with your letters when I came down here. I had a
letter the day I left Portland and two waiting for me when I got here. I’m
afraid I haven’t made such good connections. I started sending my letters to
the Stevens Hotel as soon as I got down here so the last few days you were at
Race Ave, you probably didn’t get any letters from me but they were waiting for
you at the hotel. After about Tuesday I will start writing to Portland. Darling
I do wish I could be there instead of just having letters there. I get thrilled
at the mere tho’t of your coming back west. I wonder what kind of a condition I
would be in if I were actually going to meet you on your arrival. We have been
separated now longer than any other time since we have known each other,
haven’t we, dear? Lt seems years. I love you so much. I’m so sorry if I ever
complained about not getting letters. They have been so regular and newsy and
wonderful. O, I wish I could express myself with gestures. I have missed you so
today. I didn’t feel very well. This morning I went with my father to look up
an address in the Berkeley hills and that’s no soft job. We went in a Ford that
was missing and we almost didn’t make the hills. Pop drove and I sat beside him
with the map and gave directions. We found the address and paid a visit, then
we came back down the hill and stopped at a repair garage and had two spark
plugs changed and then went clear over to Oakland to the Bekins Store House to
see about some of our stuff and then we came home. By that time I was pretty
tired. In the afternoon everyone was going out so I took an aspirin and went to
the show with the kids, Sonny Boy and Ida May, and what a show did I see, a
Mickey Mouse, Geo. Arlis in “The Working Man” and “The Devil’s Brother” (two
feature length films) and then a mystery serial that the kids must see. Then I
came home, had supper, read a magazine and here I am. I wish I could make my
letters as interesting as yours are, dear. Thank you so much for taking the
time to go into detail about the things you like, dear. I love that and I hope
you always will. Last night I glanced thru the guide book before I went to bed
but just at the pictures. I want to read it more thoroughly.
My eyes are getting heavy, dear, I wish you were here to
come in and kiss me good night, lover,
I love you, Annie
