Laura Davis letters from friends and family, January-May 1942

1942-01-19 Kathryn to Laura Frances Davis Page 2

The new Child Welfare worker arrived today - Miss Mansfield from Des Moines.  Her office is just around the corner from mine, & she is busy getting organized.
Reckon I shall be rattling around, feeling quite lost for a spell.  The people in the house are very friendly, and those here at the hospital are very pleasant.  But I shall no doubt be pretty much at loose ends for a time.  Guess one can get used to anything, though.  Perhaps I shall get a hope chest collected, after all!
Let me know when you move to Cedar Rapids.  I shall doubtless be going home more week-ends, and do want to see you.  If you should be in Iowa City the house phone is 7420 - you know where the hospital is.
I would like to hear how Slim's mother came out at Rochester.  I was so sorry to hear about her.  She has certainly had her share of trouble this past year.
Laura, if you should ever see (Fold?), give him my best.  I haven't been near anyone connected with Linn County since I left - and I must get up there soon.
Write again and keep me up to date on things.
Again my best wishes to you both.
Sincerely
Kathryn
