10:15 PM My own dear little Maxine: I received your dear letter this evening and it is one of the nicest letters and one of the dearest letters I ever received. It sure did make me feel mighty proud of my baby girl although it did make me awful homesick for you and dear mamma. Daddy sure does miss you and mamma. While I am busy it is not so bad, but it is at just this time of day when I am tired and getting ready to go home – and I think no I am not going home. I won't have my two sweethearts where I am going. Bonnie ( Emma C. Kell Million, Maxyne's grandmother ) is sure good to me and so nice to me, but O I do miss you all – Mamma, Boys and yourself. It seems that I won't get caught up with my work. I told mamma I was going to bed at 9:00 o'clock each night but I have not been able to do it yet. But I have been getting to bed about 11:00. I get up about 7:00 o'clock and this morning I had the fire built and water in and was all dressed for work when Bonnie woke up. I wonder if poor mamma has a hard time to get you and the Boys up for school. Have you been tardy yet? I am glad to hear about your little friends and I hope you have many. I think you spell fine and your arithmetic will come to you. It is going to be hard for you, dear, but you are just learning. Keep trying and when school is out you will be surprised to know how much you have learned. That is the reason you go to school. Well I am going to say good night to you and my other dear, dear sweetheart. I want you to kiss her and hug her and be good, O so good to her for your own Daddy. I have tried to write this so you can read it. Good night to all my dear ones. Your Daddy |
