Hopefully many of you will find interest in these love letters. They make an interesting drama with a grand finale that leaves the reader questioning.
In this one I noted he made a lie-- he always writes "Im", but in one line when he's saying he's not making fun of Marjorie's mother, he says, "I am not". Thus, I see his lie.
He also drops a pretty obvious hint. Ya gotta love it. After that, we learn the day they got together. In these is so much to learn if you just pay attention to what he's writing.
I cannot give answers, as usual. What I can do, though, is give the story I have to show. So here it is in his grammar/spelling, typed out by me just as he wrote it:
11/24/19
My Dearest Marjorie I can no longer restrain my-self from writing to you, dearest and best of girls.
How are you honey girl did you get home alright Sunday I hope you did.
Every body and everything is lonesome here now even ann is She is sorry she didn't bid you good bye but you know she was not home Paulie Im lonesome too.
Margg how is mother Kieft I think I can come there now with an easy feeling because she cannot bite me. now you-know. do not think Im making fun of mama because I am not.
