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

1942-10-25 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 2

improvement from the gloomy thing it was. But white is still my idea of the best color of a house. [Bartos?] are all through painting theirs white, and it looks fine. I'm glad our house is white. And that it has a fireplace too. The music on the radio is good. Reception is clear today. For the past two nights the moon is enormous. I think sometimes that as long as you are in the Northern Hemisphere it looks just the same to you, and maybe you see the same nights I do. It is four o'clock now. There are some things to eat here if I'd prepare them. Maybe I'll go out to eat. I'm beginning to get a bit hungry I guess. I'll still send your letters airmail special so you'll get as many as possible at Fort Meade and maybe they'll be forwarded faster too. Then when you get settled with some outfit I'll send send them ordinary mail again. Yours come free and still they are the most valuable of all letters. I ever have, or will, get. So the cost of the mailing is no measure of their worth!
