Yes, sweetheart, after the talk I have just had with him if J.A.Lamb asked me to cut my hand off for him I guess I would come pretty near doing it because what he says means the end of our waiting to be together.

From New Years on he is going to put me in entire charge of the sundries dept.

and what do you think is going to be my salary?
Eleven hundred cool dollars a year ($1,100.00).

That's all! Just only a cool eleven hundred per annum! Well, I guess that will show your mother whether I can take care of you or not.

And oh how I would like to see your dear, beautiful, loving face when you get this news.
I would like to go out on the public streets and just dance and shout and it is all I can do to help doing it, especially when I know we will be talking it all over together this time next week, and oh my darling, now that your folks have no excuse for putting it off any longer we might be in our own little home before Xmas.
Would you be glad?
Well, darling, this settles everything and makes our future just about as smooth for us as anybody could ask.
