My own dear Sweetheart

Dad has gone to bed and I am sitting at the dining table writing – smoking and wishing for you. Yesterday I went out and checked up Pettyjohn's cattle. I am trying to get a loan through a commission firm in K. C. so they can clean up their loan, about $3,000, with us. Had Petty's old Ford car and got stuck in the sand and had to push and dig out – all in when we got through. Ate dinner out at Pettyjohn and taken supper with Burrel and Jo last night and again tonight. I did not want to do it but they insisted and I was pretty hungry so we went up. I get breakfast here – bacon and eggs – or sausage and eggs, tea and coffee. I watered the bulbs as you told me. They have begun to grow.

Well I wonder what Mr. Gibson and Bryan think about the calling of the Legislature together. Do they think it will be done and if they do will they empeach ( impeach ) Governor Johnston. I have been watching the papers pretty close and it looks as if it might be done. However I do not believe that a majority of the people favor it. Of course the Legislature might go ahead and do it but the mass of the voters are really not interested as yet and I would say that they will have to bring more definite charges if they secure the support of the common voter. I am also afraid that it will act as a boomerang to the Democratic Party. My opinion is that they had better leave it alone. That woman is back of it all. If Johnston would break with her I think it would blow over.

Well I am going down to Woodward in the morning to meet the noon train. I have not heard whether Ella and Sarah started or not. I will miss Daddie as he is going to stay at Sarah ( Sarah's ).

Well my dear there is no real news to tell you. Just miss you so much. Wish I could come down each weekend but we can't afford it. I sure have to watch every penny.

I am enclosing a card for Bonnie from her sister.

Well goodnight Sweetheart. Wish I could fold you in my arms and rest my aching head on your breast and have you lay your own dear head on my shoulder. Tell our baby girl her Daddy misses her too. Wish I could get a big hug and kiss from her tonight. Love to all Dear Dear.

Your Boy
