                           Thurs. Sept. 3rd 10 P.M.

                               

My Dear Sweetheart,
  I got your card today Darling, and am glad to know that you are doing so well, and especially that you can come home by Sunday. You said Sat. or Sun. So I expect to go after you Sun as I believe Doc will prefer that you lay low till Sunday before taking the trip home. And if he wants you to gain so much more, maybe he'll not want you to go home 'till Monday. Yes Darling, it would sure have been swell if you could have come tome today. But you remember that I told you that I was in doubt if you could come that soon. After all, your operation was a whole lot more severe than what the other lady in your room had.
   I called up at Lillian's tonite but she was working at Eddy's Cafe. The hired girl, or whoever it was, answered the phone, so I asked her to tell Lillian that we would not be taking over the house. I am glad you felt that way about it. I had the same opinion. I wanted to turn it down the day she called, but then I thought maybe I'd better write you about it first.
   Well last nite Smoky said that he forgot to save some tubes for me to start vulcanizing and tonite he's on the drink. So I've not started yet. There were tubes to be vulcanized tonite but Smoky was not there to show me how. Once I get my first lesson I will be able to carry on with the tube vulcanizing whether he is there or not. If I get a chance to fix a tube or two tomorrow eve before attending sales meeting I shall do it, even if I have to miss supper.
   I was out to your folks last nite and got my clothes. I gave Donald a nickel and then he sure thought his daddy was a pretty swell guy. Last nite was the first time that he wanted to go home with me. Your mother gave me lunch before I went home. I would just as soon stayed over nite but I did not want to put her to any more trouble & she did not think to ask me to stay either. I have been eating my dinner & supper at Bud's for the past 2 weeks. I don't eat breakfast any more. And believe it or not, Darling, I have gained 5 pounds. (166 lbs.)
   I don't know of another thing Darling, so I better close and get this mailed, also the one I wrote you nite before last and then forgot to mail. I thought I had mailed it, till I found it laying in the front seat today amongst some advertising and junk.

                 Good nite Darling
                 I'll be see'n you
             Sunday, and I'll write
             tomorrow too.
                               Lots of Love
                                          Irvin

P.S.  If you can come Sat., be
sure to let me know in time
Darling and I'll be there for you.
                         Irvin
