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

1942-12-31 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 2

he didn't have time to go along this noon when I made the change. As usual he thought he was late and in a great hurry. And the typical new years eve fumes seemed to have been around in the afternoon too. I was sure glad it wasn't you stinking. Not that he was in poor condition but just not up to the highest ideals. 
Did I tell you a week or so ago that Irish said they sold your crusher for I believe was $2200. Some outfit in the Dakotas (?) took it. Guess I told you but I'm not sure. Earl said Shep who is out at Iowa now, told him he taught you how to run the crusher. Earl was chuckling about that. 
I'm glad you liked the idea about the candle. I didn't want to get it unless you thought it a pleasant idea. I got your letter written Monday this morning. I came home about 11 and took the Plymouth back as I didn't have a county car this afternoon. So I got your fine letter that much earlier. Gee it was a wonderful letter. Don't think you don't get expression into your letters honey. That letter was, and still is, the nicest thing in the whole holiday season this year. You wrote "I am unable to put affection and devotion in writing like you can but I mean it just as strong as can be." You do express it honey and what more fullness of affection could I ask you to write? It makes me feel all anew again how we respect each others opinions and ideals and that no matter what we ever thought of some other girl & fellow there is no one else ever again but you for me and me for you. Now back to the candle.
