August 24th, 1945

Initial greeting:
I’m missing you.
Center greeting:

The bloomin’ world’s all gone to pot;
I jes can’t smile, you see,
’Cause every day seems longer
than it’s got a right to be;

The sunshine ain’t so bright as ’twas
the skies aren’t near so blue;
I guess the whole darn thing’s becuz
I’m jes’ a-missin’ you.

Love, Alyce

Hye, Daddy,

Well, now you know how much I miss you.  Aren’t you the least bit thrilled?
-- You better be!

Ronnie is mad at me right now, because he wants his trains tied together, and
he’s not succeeding very well, -- He still likes trains.  Believe it or not,
he’s rather lost this week as Bobby is still at the lake and Tommy and Johnny
won’t come over, because the gal next door chases them away, or bribes them to
go home before they get here.  Someday she and I are going to tangle.

Bye, Darling, and we think and talk of you constantly,
Love, Mom and Ronnie.
