Dearest Dora—
Just a few lines to let you know I am thinking about you. Well old pal you sure do have a way of reading between the lines. But you are all wrong. I hope that makes you feel better. I wouldn’t be as foolish as you may think. It was just out of curiosity that I asked that question. You know I would never marry again unless I could find [p. 1] another Dora. And I don’t think they ever made another one.
Honey girl I do think of you at all times. But there is just some sort of pride that keeps me from S.L. City. I don’t have many real friends out here, and things are pretty tough at times but I don’t like to complain, so I just grin and bear it. I have lost nearly a thousand dollars this last year. In two places I have worked. I just can’t get ahead. The place I am in now owes me 3 weeks [p. 2] back wages. It looks like I will have a hard time collecting. And I am about broke. My clothes are wore out and winter is nearly here. Why tell you all this bunk? When I get some dough ahead I will come to S.L. and see you if it is just for a few short hours. I just as well tell you the truth. I have wanted to for 4 years.
I live here in the club where I work. I used to have a third interest in it. I have a room here [p. 3] and do all my cooking right here. I tend bar and play piano. It is a swell place but times are to tough on these joints now
How is work in S.L.? Can you find me a job? What a question. But it goes. There are many things I would like to talk to you about. Some day soon I hope I will be able to hold you tight never to let you go again. I swore I would never weaken but I sure have darling mine. [p. 4]
I supposed you know how I feel by now. So you can ans. this letter and tell me what to do. If I do come back I will do a good job of it.
Give my lave to the big girls and boys. I will write to them when I feel better. I am sure nervous today.
Sweet dreams sweetheart[.] I will always love you. So cheer up and be happy. Love and kisses to all, and more for you. <Ha Ha>
X Your Loving Daddy Bill
