Darling, darling, darling,
Of course I love you and I will forever and ever, dear! You
worry me, dear, please don’t get discouraged and blue. I am looking forward to
being with you so much that it hurts me because Christmas is so far away. O, it
was such a wonderful treat to read all your letters when I got home, dear. It
was almost made up for missing them for so long. The only trouble was I
couldn’t read them fast enough. I could just feel them filling up one of the
empty places around my heart. O lover, you mean so much to me. I couldn’t live
without you and don’t scare me by saying you wonder if it can last thru the
long wait. The part about your missing so many days with letters was all right
as long as I was gone because I didn’t know it but don’t let it happen again,
young man, because you will have me to answer to and you know how fierce I am!
You have certainly been having some exciting times around
that little campus. It certainly makes me yen for the place. Goodness, when I
was reading that account about the president of the board and Dean Morse and
that cur of a Kerr I got so hot and bothered I lit into poor Steve but he
doesn’t get upset very easily fortunately. He just listened to me solemnly and
let me rave and agreed with everything I said. O, I would have given my teeth
to have been there for the game! This big affair of course made it even more
bitterly fought, didn’t it? And what will happen tomorrow I wonder. By the time
you get this letter tho’ you will know whether we are “de champs” or not. I got
a lovely note from your mother saying that she was glad to that I was coming
up. It was so sweet of her to write. I am going to write her a long letter
tomorrow. I am sorry, dear, that you think that the Alpha Phis are going down
hill so fast. It is certainly a disappointment to me because Alpha Phi means as
much to me as Chi Psi means to you. I got a letter from Cardi today, too.
You are a fine one to ball me out for not answering
questions when I think of all the things I ask you that you never
answer!!! I will now give you the exact
status of Mr. Cresap. He owns part of this farm up here. Next door to the one
Pop owns and they are both working on both places. June lives down with the
Cresaps so Mr. Cresap lives here with us. Suppose to be an even exchange but he
eats and talks two or three times as much as June. He lives up here and his
family lives in Berkeley because he hates the city life and his wife refuses to
bring the kids and live up here in the sticks.
I think I have answered your letters, sweet heart but I am
going to read them again more slowly tomorrow.
This morning we didn’t leave Berkeley until about ten thirty and we got
up here about two. While I was gone Pop bought a new tractor and Mom said he is
having the time of his life. Just like a kid with a new toy. When we drove up
he was plowing up the field in front of the house. Steve got all excited and
tho’t he would like to do something like that so he went right down and played
around with Pop while I devoured your letters.
It didn’t take me long to get into my stride because Mom had
a heavy fire place log fall on her so she has been laid up for several days and
so I had to go into town and market and then get the supper. After supper we
went to the movies, Grover, Steve, and I. When we got home Mom and Pop were
still up so we talked some more. The rest have been in bed quite a while and
it’s a quarter to one now and I am getting sleepy but, lover, I had to write
before I could sleep to night because, dear I love you with all my heart and
will forever and ever. I am only living for Christmas now.
Goodnight, my darling
Ann
