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

1942-09-20 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 3

I never answered Charles Kings letter and he asked me to send your address. That came while Mother was in the hospital you remember I told you. Maybe I can send a line this week. I don't want to correspond with him but I can send your address. Betty hasn't written him for more than two weeks she said. She's had a very busy time, but I bet he is suffering just like he used to here. Ray is in this month's draftees she said. John has only two more quarters at school and then he'll probably get a 2nd lieu commission as he is a military major at Coe. Betty mentioned how much better he walked, stood and sat since he's had a lot of military hammered to him all summer. There doesn't seem to be much else to say tonight. Just consider I'm whispering "secrets" to you and you are telling me what you are going to do with me. Sometimes you say your letters are dry and that there is nothing to say but that it was a routine day in the army. Even saying routine was the kind of day it was is good for me to hear. You never once sent me a dry letter. Goodnight, laddie, my husband.
Love, Laura
From War War!
