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

1942-10-24 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 4

the future for us isn't so many years, the present becomes all the more important. I'm not writing all this because I think you're not of the same mind and so I must persuade you. No, I know you look at those ideas the same way because we've discussed that. But I write it all out again to make my thinking straighter. This discussion points out the value of a sacrifice of comfort or real economy, or more prosperity of employment, to the end that I follow you if possible. If you go from Meade to someplace I can't, then we were together what time we could. If you go to a native camp or Fort I hope I can go soon. So with the new determined view of the Red Cross field person that I work here now, it becomes all the more necessary that you say I should not agree to any Red Cross job until you know I can't be near you. That should leave the way open for me to get in gracefully if I asked for a job with them when you are overseas and still get me out of this offer. Or is all this too too mixed
