Dearest Rose,-

I just got your most kind and ever welcome letter yesterday and as you are in a hurry to hear from me I thought I would answer now.

I am just going to write with a pencil. I see you wrote with Ink. But you don’t have to do that because I am glad to get a letter from you no matter how it is wrote.

Well I am supprised about those letters I sen you, the big one I sen last Thursday and the other one I sent Sunday night. I don’t suppose your mail man goes very often?

Today is Sunday and it sure is lonesome here. I sure will be glad when you come back.

The weather sure has been nice here. But it Rained here the other day and snowed a little and was a little cold. But it is nice enough now.

Say I like your nerve you said you wrote as big a letter as I did. I don’t think It would any harm to write a little more. Those two letters sure were more than your one.

You said in you letter that you thought I wouldn’t answer your letter. You don’t need to be afraid of that because when I didn’t get a letter from you for a hole week I didn’t sleep very much nights thinking about it. So write as often as you can because I feel blue and when I get a letter from you I am alright again.

How is that fellow of yours in Denmark does he take you for a sleigh ride, to dances and give you a good time while you are to home.

You said you was going to turn him down. But the best way is to keep him than you will have one in Denmark and one in Manitowoc. But what ever you do don’t forget me.

If the weather is nice and warm when you come back we will have a sleigh ride. You are having a lot now, but I haven’t had any yet.

My bed partner is having a fit and I can’t hardly hear any more. he is making so much noise. So don’t know how I can write. Well it is nearly twelve-o-clock and I started this letter at eight so you see it is hard to think of anything to write.

You don’t need to be afraid of getting work here because there is add in the papers and in the window of the Victorian House so you can get lots of work.

Ida’s address is Mrs. Boehmke, R. 1 Box 65a Beaver, Wis. I hope you don’t wait there for an answer. because you wouldn’t come back this winter.

Well I hope you don’t stay in Denmark a week for you will be back sooner. I hope you come back the 22 of this month because I don’t work that day. The hole yards are going to lay off.

Well I haven’t ben home for over two months. I think I will go home Easter. I suppose you will be going home then again.

Well I guess I said enough foolish things for a while, So I guess I will close for this time, as it is nearly dinner time, and I can’t think of any more to write.

I don’t go to the shows very often because I don’t like to go alone.

I hope you don’t forget that you are coming home with me this summer to visit Ida.

I will have to close for this time. With best love and a dozen kisses. Hoping to see you soon. And be sure if you don’t come rite away Answer as soon as you can because I am always waiting for a letter from you.

Well Good Bye

I remain your friend

Douglas
