Mrs. Lloyd Davis (Sender's name) 817-19 St. S.E. (Sender's address) Cedar Rapids, Iowa 3-22-43 (Date)
Dearest: A long busy day so busy that time sort of flew by. The usual office hours of Monday afternoon with more clients than usual. As it was Mrs. Hunt's birthday we ate supper in Marion. Then I returned books to Miss Calderwood. Elmer Spence lives with her now and sends his greetings with hers. Took a photo of mother to Aunt Min. The womans Club had it made from the negative of a group picture. There is one for you and I'll take the other to George. Then returned Uncle Lews history book to him from Beeson. Hazel & I went to see an official technicolor picture of fifty minutes length on the war in North Africa. It was wonderful photo work. Was glad to see if some of it was war in real battles. I had a glimpse of what you see now though the real bad things were left out. 
Saw Churchill and had best talk with him I ever did. I agreed on a price. He will talk to George to see us the house for $5,000 and I will sell out to George or else buy from George the farm at $135 an acre. If he sells out he can still rent it cheap from us. I hope this seems right, wise and fair to you. The farm can't be sold without your signature but I can buy the house (and farm) without you signing. Churchill seems to think these ideas are good. I don't want to do anything you don't want. I love my husband. Love, Laura V...-MAIL POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT PERMIT NO. 10
