Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, September-October 1942

to come back, he said.  He didn't enlarge on that and seemed to say it like he felt she could and should have stayed out there.  He'd like to visit the boy but is afraid the lad might realize how bad he felt and be upset then and now he seems to be adjusting and getting on fine.  So he won't go to Cheyenne.  Morge said he was glad I had a job and said he didn't know Mother had gone until quite a few days afterward.
Also talked a minute to Al and to Claude.  Al has all his upper teeth out now.  Claude and Morge said something about you, and my being an old married woman.  Claude thinks it will be all right to be an old married person just so I don't get fat and have to be shipped off to the butcher to be reduced!  A very different view to have him glad I'm not getting fat, isn't it?
I feel sort of lost because I can't read todays letter again; all ready did a lot of times but I seem to have left it in my note book at the office.  I did that yesterday with the letter of that day and was so lost last night.  So today I put the letter in my purse as soon as I got to the office and then later today I repeat the same thing.  Some people never learn by experience, eh?
