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

1942-09-21 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 4

a real feat! I'll tell you when I hear again and I might try to go thru Norfolk coming home if he isn't gone from there and won't be allowed to visit Camp Croft. Then today I had a letter from Abbie, my roommate my third year at Coe. She teaches in Neb. Her sister's husb is a louie in the Canadian army. She just heard a couple weeks ago that I was married. Eleven twenty-five now and tomorrow is a work day. I had some harder interview today so I really earned my pay, whatever it will be! You had such a nice picture of two heads and an arm on your Thursday letter. And the smile on the big one was great. Freddie says the affection you miss out on one night is gone for good and one can never figure on making it up the next night! Suppose he ever counted 100 before the wife become his war dept.? He believes we should be together as long as you are in the U.S. for whatever time you can be allowed by the army. But he isn't condemning me for staying now until we see where you go. But he surely thinks I should see you before basic ends. Goodnight laddie, to my husband,
Love,
Laura
