Dearest George,
Now it’s my turn to talk about the heat. Goll-ee has it been
hot!! You feel as tho’ you were sitting in an oven because there isn’t a breath
of air but luckily for us that doesn’t last very long only from about eleven
until about five. In the evening and early morning it is delightfully cool. It
doesn’t bother me very much but Mom feels the slightest change of temperature.
First she’s hot when it gets cool she gets cold. June is that way, too. I guess
I am filling my place in the world dear. I am not being a leach all together
because Mom said today that she didn’t think she would have been able to stand
it if it hadn’t been for me. She doesn’t have to think of food or the kitchen
at all and that’s what would have worried her beyond all measure.
I haven’t told you what happened to one of the turtles have
I? One of them is lost. I am just sick about it but we can’t find it. It was one of the first days we were here and
I had them in a little shallow dish until I could fix an aquarium. The dish was
deep enough so one couldn’t get out but one of them got smart and crawled up on
top of the other one and climbed out. It was one of those first days when we
were rushing around cleaning up and we hadn’t looked at them all day and when
we did one of the turtles was gone. Today I fixed an aquarium for the other one
and he has been thrashing around in the water all day long. He doesn’t show any
signs of dying of lonesomeness. I do wish we could find the other one.
I am worried about your head dear. Do you wear your glasses
all the time? You certainly have to do an awful lot of studying, don’t you? But
I am sure you will come out on top. Did Ray Mize come down to school as he
planned? When do your classes come? Mostly in the morning? Do you have much
chance to do most of your reading by daylight?
Darling, I love you and I want to starve with you ---
Good night, lover
Ann
