6/15/16 Friday night My own Dear Ora: I received your letter this evening which you wrote Thursday morning. I am so sorry that I have disappointed you for if it hurts you to miss a letter from me as bad as it hurts me to miss a letter from you it sure does hurt. You speak about suspense. Gee but it is beginning to tell on me also. I have been nervous all day and tonight I can hardly write. You speak about Sam's birthday. Well Dearie I have made up my mind that if you can possibly make connections I will be in Enid Monday morning the 18 th . We can be back home Tuesday night or Wednesday night just as you wish. I have decided that to bar all comments and any possible chance for something to come up and detain me, to not say anything about going but to get work up Sunday and if they by chance should go anywhere Sunday I will leave a note on the desk or counter stating that I have been called away and will be back Tuesday or Wednesday. Then there can be no stopping me or I may go to Woodward and drop a card back. Don't know what I will do only that I am coming to you my darling, my own dear wife, coming just as fast as train can carry me. Things are breaking fine for me at present that is if anything should turn up that my services are no longer needed. Ross is going to Junction City, Kansas to look over a proposition offered him by the Federal Land Loan Inspector. He has a very flattering offer and I can take over his business for such a time as I need to make ends meet providing that things don't suit. I don't think that any change will be made. In fact I think that your father will be glad to have suspense removed from him also. Gee Dearie it is sure great. Just think Monday Monday you will be mine, mine, mine. For all the powers that be can't take you from me my Queen my wife my Home Builder. With you by my side I can hurl an avalanche of energy into the obstacles that might confront me, make of them only stepping stones to higher things. With your aid as you reach from your exalted pedestal down to me I feel just that I can and will surmount difficulties. And if not like the adage The harder hit, the higher you bounce. If by any chance you cannot make connections at Enid, telegraph me at Woodward, Oklahoma in care of the Baker Hotel. I will go to Woodward from here and can get a telegram from you there. In fact if it is possible for you, if you can come, telegraph to come, but if I don't receive a telegram from (you) at Woodward telling me not to come. I will be in Enid Monday morning, the 18 - just 2 days beginning in the morning. Bye-Bye - my own dearie-dearie. No more letters from me until you see me and our lives are one-one-one. I count each moment-each moment a pearl - and thus I while away the moments until at last - I can kiss my wife. O Beautiful Word - may we each, after the supreme moment when we stand side by side thru the ceremony that unites us husband and wife, have to love the word more and more. O may we always bless the moment that gives each to their own. You my wife - I your husband. I take you as my own to love and cherish, to comfort you in sorrow, to be glad with you when happiness comes to you. Yours, Percy |
