Dearest Darling Mine—
Here I am late again with my ans. to your dear sweet letter. There is no excuse for being late just the same old daddy. I feel as good today [illegible words] will sure happen. Hope it will be something to make life more pleasant for me.
I want to cheer you up dear so I will tell you all the nice things I think about you and my, “best in the world family.” I mean [p. 1] you and the kiddies. I get more lonesome each day. I live in a hotel one block from where I work. All I do is go home at 6 am, get up at three P.M. Go over to the joint have three or four drinks. Eat and go to work. Every day is the same
Thought I would get a break two weeks ago. Had two of my friends say they could get me a job at sheet metal work. But it has not showed up yet. If I can get it I will be able to save some money. I could [p. 2] get 50 a week. as it is now I just get my eats and drinks & room. If I had a car and some clothes I could make plenty but I will get a break soon
I am not loosing my pep dear. I have lost it. Had a chance to go deer hunting the other day but couldn’t go. Last nite I cooked up a dago feed. Macaroni Italian style with deer meat. Gee honey I sure can cook now. My pal Red terry say’s if I could only sing he would [p. 3] marry me. He is a good sport. He just left here. I told him I was writing to the sweetest girl in the whole world. His ex-wife is just like you. Has big honest brown eyes like my honey. He says to tell you hello—
I am all alone in the club today and every time some one comes in I have to stop this letter and serve some drinks. Next time I stop I will have one for you dear. [p. 4]
Well I just had the drink darlink. When I drank I said “here is too my sweetheart in S.L..”
Now for the first time in a long time I am going to ask you to do something for me, Please. I have told you about Max and his lovely wife[.] But he has also a lovely boy and daughter. Now the boy is 13 year old just like warren. He is all wrapped up in Indian relics & things. He saves his nickels to [p. 5] buy arrow heads and peace pipes and all kinds of bugs and such. Now you know how I like to do things. I told him, I (Bud is his name) that I would have you send him some kind of an Indian relic any thing you can find in on the curio stores. I will send you the money if you will get some thing for him. If you want dear you can send it to Mrs. Thomas M. Bridgeford 1212— 53st Emeryville Cal. I will send you the money [p. 6] If you tell me how much it cost you. Not over $300[.] I know how you love kids that age and he is sure a good boy.
Max read your last letter and he says Hello and many of them.
He says if he comes to S.L. with me you can have me fore a week all alone. But he also says I wouldn’t be any good after the first nite <Ha Ha> You know [p. 7] me honey. I don’t like to brag {so/to} I wont say it.
I hope dear this finds you all well and happy[.] give my love to all the girls and boys. Have them write me a line. I would sure love to hear from them all. Love to daddy, and millions of hugs and kisses to my sweetheart. I love you always dear you are my only real pal. In every way. Want to hear from you soon.
Your loving
daddy Bill—
