My Dear Charlotte.
First of all Happy Birthday to you and many more of them. I should have written you long ago but have been so busy and when I come to my room, I'm pretty tired you see we work from 7 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. and that's a pretty long day for me.
Mother was going to send you a box Monday and I hope you will get it in time for your Birthday. We took a little drive Sunday eve and mailed one box to you.
I also want to thank you for the dollar you sent me and also the beautiful card on Father's Day.
Gee, that's one day I really rate. I got a swell belt from Bud, and summer tie and pair of socks from Babs, Mother said Babs went to Taylors and bought them by herself and she did right well. Mother gave me a pair of shorts and under shirt and a sport sweater. I guess it's a sweater. ha. ha.
Anyway I fared pretty well almost like a birthday.
We are all so glad the you are having such a wonderful time and I hope you continue to enjoy yourself.
You know you you're young only once and you might as well make the best of it.
There was a lay off to-day, but I wasn't in it. None of know when we'll get it and don't care. I've been here now quite a while and I'm getting rather sick of the place, but as long as they want me I'll stay.
We have been having some weather lately and I hope we continue to have it. We had so much rain this spring and cold along with it, that it is going to take a lot of warm weather to make up for it.
Well Darling, take good care of yourself and don't forget to write home. One letter a week isn't going to do. ha.ha. Sure enjoying those pictures you send home. Keep it up.
Hope to find a letter at home from you when I get there Saturday.
