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

1942-12-26 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 1

817-19 St. S.E. 
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
December 26, 1942
Dearest,
Saturday afternoon and I am going to start your letter early. I didn't want to work this morning. I didn't think business would be rushing and it was pouring rain out. I figured a couple hours out might make my sore throat really bad. I have no fever and it is staying the same, or maybe a bit better, so I'm glad I did stay home. And it had now quit raining. The sky is heavily overcast yet. I suppose it could easily turn colder and snow. But you know how poor a weather prophet I always am, so don't take any stock in my forecast!
Being home this morning I got early your letter written Monday. Your loving me and tell me so is lots more important than a special card for Christmas that may not have nearly as nice or important a message on it. 
Freddie called a while ago. He had talked to Riley and said Joe knew
