Mrs. L. H. Nelson Mrs. Russell Law Mc 37 Oak St. 148 So. Figueroa St. Warren, OH L.A., 12, Calif. Dear Jean, I know it is awful that I haven't written sooner, but really I have been so busy. Harold N. got home on the 3rd, and Harold L. arrived home on the 4th and we have been on the go all the time since he arrived home. Harold L. went back this morning so we won't be so busy from now on. Ruthie went back with him. She plans on being there about 2 weeks. Harold L. still is the same person but was so thin. He lost all that fat he put on. He looked better though when he left. He should seems all we did was eat- In fact, we had three big meals this week. One at Aunt Lenoris, one at our place, and last night at McFarland's/ Last Sat. nite, we went on a big binge. Georgie Law went with us too. We had a big start before we even left Uncle George's. Then we stopped at the Blue Crystal and from there went to the Moose Lodge in Youngstown. They have a real nice place to dance and a fairly nice orchestra. Nelson & I sure had fun dancing. We all had a good time until Sunday rolled around. I wasn't good for anything all day long. Dad said I had a hang over, but that wasn't true. I was just all tired out or just too lazy to move. Tuesday we went to Youngstown. Mom got a new coat. It is some shade of blue. Just can't describe it. I got a coat too. Only I bought mine last Sat. I got a black chesterfield. Tht is what mom wanted but they just didn't look right on her. We had Jimmie for awhile. Got him on Wed., the 4th of Oct. Nelson and I even took him to Youngstown with us. We stayed all night down there on Fri. night. He sleep with us. Didn't work out too badly. He sure was having a good time. He is such a good little boy. Everyone likes him. We got him two new suits. One is dark blue with a yellow tag and a blue collar. He looks really cute in it. The other is a real light blue. It's cute on him, too. We took him back on Sat. nite. He didn't want to go but I couldn't do anything else. He kept saying Bot, not to go to Mary's but we took him anyway. Jerry was down there, and she took him for a walk so he didn't have a chance to see us go. I just hate to leave him when he is crying. I would get him but we are just too busy. Today, our sewer stopped up outside. So we had to go get a fellow to come and empty the cess pool. He is coming tomorrow morning. You didn't know I found carpet beetles in my rug. They are similar to moths, but are a little worse. So I'm trying to fight them. I guess one can get rid of them if one keeps right after the little devils. Nelson is trying to paint the house. We have everything going at once. I don't see how we will get done but he thinks we will. Wilbert is in France now. He said he went thru Paris so he must be up in there somewhere. Wilma said he seemed to like it alot better. Gerald went back to work. He is learning to be a welder at the Warren Mfg. Co. Dad went back to work, too. This is his second week at work. He seems to be standing it good. Better than we thought he would. Well, I'll close for now. I know this is an awfully scribbled up mess, but I'm writing in bed and every 5 mins Nelson moves. And that's not good. Write to me now Love from a sister, Audrey
