I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Mine was good. Nice and warm for a change. I was even able to get my husband NOT to kill a snake we found under some wood we were moving on Saturday. He hates snakes. What a wuss.
Any way here is the next letter from Theresa. (It was mixed in with the random bunch of letters and she signed it Billy)
Dear Friend;
I received your letter several days
ago and was very glad to hear from you.
Nothing very exciting has happened since
the last time except that I have met a new
boy that I like pretty well. I just got
this typewriter and am trying it out. My
music teacher is giving a big concert March
6, 1920, and I want you to come too. Oh do
tell. it skipped, again well for heavens
sake is that all this machine can do. Please
excuse my hand writing please as I can't
help it. Ha, Ha, it's time to laugh really it
is. Well let us get down to business and
talk sense, what do you think. I am going
to a masquerade this Saturday with my new
friend ahem. I am going to have the whole
bunch up Sunday evening and we are all going
to dance oh boy. This new boy plays a
concertina and can he play I'll say he can.
Have you heard the new song Venetian Moon.
It is simply wonderful I am crazy about it.
Well I guess I will close for this time
hoping to hear from you soon.
Your Friend
Billy.
If you can't play it you can go to YouTube it's there.
Here is a picture of the cover from the sheet music.
As for a concertina, for those of you who don't know what it looks like, here is a picture of one from about 1920.
Looking through the old pictures I found this one.
I'm not sure who they all are but the guy is holding a concertina so I thought it was just right for this post.
Here is a random picture of a couple of my uncles when they were younger.
Well that's about all I have for now.
I do hope this post did find you in good health.
So till next time.
Your friend,
Sandy
