1941...More from George!!

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted any Grandpa George love letters. For new readers, I have love letters that my grandfather George wrote to my grandmother Fran in 1941 before they married....if you are interested it starts here.

(Day after Wed)

Hi you sweet woman:-

Finally finished work a few minutes ago, and before going to bed thought I would write to my honey. I believe I promised to write some time last night. And seeing as how I don't like to go back on my word here she is.

Got home safe and sound last night at 2:30, and it seems that I wasn't in bed more then a couple of hours (3) before I was getting up again. At the present time my fanny sure is dragging. The family was up again today. I don't want you to feel bad about it, because it's my own fault, and what's more I sure do enjoy it. I was ready to see you again tonight but then I thought no I had better not. I will never see enough of you Fran honey.

Tomorrow I will be cleansing chickens and by the time you get this, I will be in Harrisburg selling them to the towns suckers, at least I hope so. Haven't heard anything from the draft board as yet, so maybe they don't want me after all.

Well honey it's 10:30 and I think I had better start for the attic as this is one night I want my good old bed. Sure wish I had a bed woman waiting for me.

Good night dumpling.
Guess who?


George's sweet woman...with their first 2 little dumplings...my aunt and uncle.
