I hope you had a good weekend. I know I did. Our production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" was a hit with all who attended.So now I'm back to quiet nights at home.
Anyway, here is the next letter from Mary. It was dated July 10 but the postmark on the envelope is the 13th. It must have taken awhile to get it in the mail.
Rib Lake Wis
July, 10, 1925
Hello Howard:-
I got your letter Wed.
morning. My mother was just
up to see me so she wanted
to know who it was from.
I told her it was from
Rosie but of course she didn't
believe that. Then she grabbed
it and looked to see where
it was stamped, but the
stamp was so that you
couldn't read it. Then she
tried to guess from who it
was but I think she forgot
all about you already.
Say Howard, if you
want to come up next week
you'll have to come on Wed.
I don't know whether I'll have
off Sat. evening or not.
Important Business Or maybe
you'd rather not come over at
all, how about it? Did Rib Lake
treat you pretty decent?
I think I saw you here the
4th. Were you on the side-
walk near the school hill?
I saw some one there with a
straw hat on.
Elaine Scheek, the girl from
the telephone office, was up
tonight so we went for a walk.
But what she wanted was
to get some one to take
her to Chelsea to that
dance tonite. We were
all out of luck, tho, so
she got us some ice cream
and then went home like
a good girl.
Well it's after ten already
so good night and pleasant
dreams. I have some awful
crazy ones sometimes.
Best wishes from
Mary
Well not a whole lot here. Just a typical everyday kind of letter. I still wonder how old Mary was at this time. I would still love to know what he wrote but I don't think I will ever find that out.
Here are a few random things for you to look at.
Here is what it says on the back:
Hello:-
gentlemen
thank you for
the postal card
you you send me
from G.W.
At least I think that's what it says.
Well that's all I have for you today.
Stay warm.
Your friend,
Sandy
