Letter from Cawley Clinton HUDSON (1895-1974) to Bertha Mae AULTMAN (1894-1974)

 

 

Dear girl:

I will write you as I promest, and wonder if my little girl wants to hear from me.

 

Dear I have told you a thousand times how much I love you it seems that I love you more every day.

I sure want to see you for it seems like it has been a year since I saw you.  You said I couldn't come when I want to.  I am glad you did for if I were to come when I want to I would come every day.  I sure did have a lonesome ride Sunday night but was at home and asleep at 10 oclock.

 

Dear be a good girl and try to love me always.  I know everybody is talking to you about me, but dear if I live I am going to try to make you happy that is all that I can do.

 

I will close write soon and all the news to yours

 

                                                               Cawley C.

P.S. Tell Claud to get that plow for me as soon as he can.

 

Letter is dated Oct. 1919, not long after Cawley returned from WWI.
