I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was nice. The weather was just right. It was more than likely the last warm weekend we will have here for year. I was not involved in any dramas, just the way I like it.
Anyway here is the next letter from Mary.
Rib lake, Wis
Dear Howard:-
Well, for once I'll
keep my promise and
write again. How do you
feel today. Gee I hope
you don't feel blue because
I hate to think it's my
fault if you're not happy.
Why aren't you like Ed,
then you would have for-
gotten me long ago and
be having a good time
with someone else.
Mrs. Hipke said I could
go any time Sunday but
gee I feel ashamed to go.
What in the will your
sister-in-law think of me.
Not very much i suppose
after the way I treat
you.
If you go Sunday I can
be ready about 9-15 or so
and if you come Sat. nite
don't come before about
8.30 as I'm going to
church first.
Say, I can't write any
more as my
are falling shut. I s'pose
you can see that by my
writing.
Love from Mary
P.S. I'd like to write a
longer letter but I'm so
sleepy I can't think
I don't know about you but there is one message I get from this letter. I think she is giving him hints that maybe he should move on to some else. But for some reason he was trying his best to hold onto her. I guess maybe he thought he could wear her down till she finally agreed to become his one and only. But she is holding fast to her beliefs. I think she was a very strong person.I wonder whatever happened to her. Will I ever find her family and get an answer to that question?
Here are a few random pictures for you to look at.
This is a picture of Grandpa's brother Alfred and his wife Selma. I wonder what she did think of Mary.
Well that's all I have for you today. I hope you will come back again soon for another look at history that has faded away.
Till next time.
Your friend,
Sandy
