My Dear Rayson:
This has been a long day, also a very lonesome one. I managed to get through it by keeping busy, finished a little sewing and some mending. Really dear, it seems like the week cannot go fast enough, I am always looking forward to Sunday.
Last night after you had gone, having just missed a car, I started to walk down town and who should come along but Elizabeth and Fred. They were as good as their word alright.
Cora was still here when I reached home but she didn't stay long after. She wanted to see my dress and wouldn't believe that I made it myself.
It is a great event to have a plane fly over the city although they do not stop, consequently there was a whole column devoted to the subject tonight. I have enclosed the picture. Grand Ridge is Clarence Crumine's home town and he just dropped in for a visit. Perhaps you remember hearing about him. He piloted one of the five planes which made the first trip from the United States through Canada, to Alaska.
I stamped the pattern on a sheet, today to match the pillow cases which I bought at the fifth street store.
Well dear there really isn't any news and so will close for this time. With all my love you dear, I remain as always
Yours as ever & forever
Edythe.
P.S. - Mother just came in and said, "Don't forget to tell Rayson I send my love to him." And so I put it in a little letter all by itself,
Love - Edythe.
