Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, November-December 1942

1942-12-11 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 5

note it was perhaps presumptuous of me to think you cared enough to want to know how I really felt. Now I feel you do care that much. Then that same night I waited in the truck as you had backed it up to load grease and I thought you ready to go home. Then you were gone and I went back to the office to wait. Freddy said I'd have to get used to waiting on things like that. I said nothing at all because I didn't know where you'd gone or with whom, let alone why. But old Freddy did and when I had a whiff of you and thought of what he'd said, I surely did feel bad. That was what all happened so that I went right in and tried to set down the incidents and my feelings in logical order. Now of course I know lots of things better. The little you did drink has been abandon for me. But when Kubik gave you wine for moving him and again wine just before we went home after the dinner there all I could feel was "Oh nuts." Mother said to me about the wine he gave you when we left was, "Somehow it just seems that men like the stuff." I heard Earl tease Hazel once about beer mugs. I could hardly keep from telling him that such teasing was just plain no good. Of course I said nothing.
