Midnight Dear Ora, Everyone in bed but me, as usual. Had my eye taken care of in Guthrie – should be OK in a few days. Have redressed it again tonight; scratched and an ulcer formed but Dr. said I sure did well to keep it covered. We got here about 5:30. Dorr left yesterday; be back tomorrow evening. Sam's going back to Guthrie in the am and back home tomorrow night. Then we will go back with him Thursday am and up to Perry that evening is the arrangement at present. I might have gone back tomorrow but wanted to see how my eye progressed. Thinking I would be much better off at home where I could be quiet; better for eye. Boys doing pretty good – no fights so far. But Fang almost finished HiLo. Paul ( ? ) got there in time. Fang had him by back of neck, shaking him. Paul grabbed Fang by his feet and swung him around till he dropped HiLo and I grabbed him into the garage. All's been quiet since. Maxine pretty tired tonight. She was out planting umpteen tomatoes ( ? ) Dearie I just watched you as you came out to car today. How much you can love a person and I thought how terrible to have anything happen to my eyesight that I could never see you again. Anyway … ( not sure of words here ) Dearest Dearie, Percy He wrote “ (Over) ” and this is on the back of the page: To my Own Dear Ora if I should go first; if not to my Sons and Daughter Love begets Love. Mother has expressed it. All our years together I have loved her as only Love can Love. It has carried my life through the perils of ending it. It has been always a solace of contentment and joy. O God I hope my Sons and Daughter can have that satisfaction of Love received and returned that has been my Inspiration. My Joy and Happiness all the years that your Mother and my wife, my companion, have had together. It makes Life eternal for Love can never die unless severed by one or the other. Ours will never die for it means Life to each. My Dearie, Oh my Dearie Percy |
