1918-03-17 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 5

we'll have our home established before the Span'ard get the notion out of her head that she wants to come to Iowa City. And encourage George Schumann all you can. I think a lot more of the boys who want to work their way through the university than I do of the good fellows who have a good time on Dad's money. Perhaps that is because I put myself through. I made enough to pay most of my expenses as I went, and the money that was furnished me I paid back to the last cent before I had been out two years. I'll do everything I can to make the way practicable for George. Please tell me about your "family affairs" whenever you want to. You know they are mine too now. 
Honey, I had the awful realization today, that's I've plumb forgotten to write that letter to Mrs. Stockard. Too many things have been happening. But I'll do it tomorrow, if they'll give me a moment. 
You're a darling to love my pictures and to believe they're really good. If only they mean half as much to you as the picture in the oval frame before me at this moment does I am immeasurably glad. Ye Gods! I do like that picture. I feel that way about it every time I look at it. Dam 'ansome looking girl, I sye mytey. I particularly like her because she's my wife. I wonder, really whether I'll ever be able to express what glorious meaning that fact has for me. You are very certain, I am sure, but you will none the less like to hear me say that I love you more and more as the days go by. Perhaps I'm a little calmer about it. Judging from the replies I have had
