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

Dearest,
I'll just run off a few lines here in my notebook. It isn't at all elegant stationery but you can read it as well as usual at least! It was rainy this morning and there was quite a shower while I was getting ready to go to work. I used to like rainy weather like that because if it got that good a start it might rain all the harder, and if hard enough, you would get to come back home before 5:30! That was the first time in my life that I ever liked the men to get damp enough to need dry clothes! This is supposed to be just an extra note too and not your good letter. Oh laddie another letter came today. I hope you don't tire of my telling you over and over how good some things are. We know we don't have troubles at all compared to real troubles, yet things are not like we wish them and so the smaller blessings can bear that much more repetition. Kathryn Nelson, the tall blond who left our office last August to go to Alabama U for her master's degree in sociology was in the office this afternoon. She is leaving Sunday to go to Texas and be Hazel's case worker
