Dear
Irene,
In ans
to your lovely letter of which pleased me very much am well and hoping you are
all the same. I am still here at the "Inn" but have started working
for Rene. I help her here mornings and from 4-8:30 go to "Renes"
waiting on tables. Last night made in tips $3.10. I've made almost $10.00 in
tips and only worked 6 nights but as soon as business picks up will work every
day as she hasn't enough work here for her and I so I will still keep my room
here but will have my meals with Rene. He pays $10.00 a week and meals but the
tips are wonderful.
How
are my little children. I miss them very much and am very pleased to think they
are eating good and if you only have a chance to come down to see me it would
please me very much.
This
is starting to be very busy now. We have had very bad weather. It has rained
every day since I've been down here but for 3 days now it has been very lovely.
I was
offered another job in a hotel as a chambermaid but I think I will stay at
Rene's as I think the money is better at the "Surf room" that is the
name of Rene's place so if I am not at the "Inn" you will find me at
the Surf room.
I was
glad to hear your father was much better. Were you pleased with your earrings.
I thought you didn't have any pearl earrings to go with your necklace. Have you
heard any more from Bob. I have written 2 letters but haven't heard as yet.
They
have started the movies here so it won't be so lonely. I went Sunday night and
saw "Bring on the waves."
Irene
I forgot to get my ?? from Payette. I hope you got it and I will pay you for it
- If I get any mail either send it or open it to see what it is.
I have
started a bank account down here as I think I will be able to save some money
here. Have met a lot of my friends. Last Fri. night went to Graduation
Exercises and children that were in baby carriages when I first lived here. It
was surprising how I had lost tract of them how they had grown. It made me feel
a little old and all those that graduated from high school when Bob did they
have their names on the honor roll those who are in the service. Mrs Lord from the
Information Bureau came and asked me where Bob was so I guess they will put his
name on the honor roll.
Will
close now as I have to get ready for work and I imagine I will be very busy as
it is lovely here now. I hope you have nice weather for the beach. Well will
close now and kiss the babies for me and all my love to all of you.
Love
Mother

Remember me to Lorraine
