(changed pens)

Dearie,

It is after 7 o’clock and I’ve had no breakfast — just got up, but I must say something to you before eating or before going to work you dearie come first every time. I love you!!!! I dreamt last night that I was getting ready to go to Alton. Is there any train that gets there earlier or later than 7? I would like to get there as early as possible — you know. Dearie my head is aching badly this morning and I want you I want you, I want you, I want you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you!! The weather is terribly hot here. We have our house nearly all painted and the shingles stained. Elmer is doing it. Oh darling, precious I love you I love you I love you I love you (changed pens) I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you. Put your arms around my neck! kiss me! Let me put my arms around you dear, let me kiss you. I love you dear I love you dear. Rub my head with those dear fingers. I love you dear.
