Hi Sweet! Got a call from Watson at the office the other day—he said Edith was rather worried about you and had I heard? So it made me wonder too—it’s funny, I look forward to your letters but I don’t expect them at any certain time. Quite a difference than when you were at Selfridge when I used to get positively furious if I didn’t hear twice a week. It never bothered me when you were in Texas. I guess that was because I got a letter almost every other day..

Circular 35

Revised April 1991 by Grant E.M. Matheke, Patricia J. Wagner, and Patricia S. Holloway; Reprinted by Cooperative Extension Service, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and U.S.D.A. Cooperating. Publication 300C-00235A technique for growing high-yielding, everbearing strawberries with clear polyethylene (plastic) mulch and row covers has been developed at the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station at Fairbanks. This technique eliminates the long delay from planting to fruiting that occurs with other culture systems and it has created an interest in commercial production and an increased home-garden effort in Alaska. The production system involves planting nursery plants each season as early as possible through clear polyethylene mulch, using row covers for the early part o f the season. Using this technique, harvest begins about July 15 and extends until freeze-up, com pared to a production season from about July 10 to July 28 for hardy types o f strawberries such as Toklat or Pioneer. This system produces clean fruit, easy to pick and relatively free from fruit rot. The harvest season can be extended in the fall by again using the row covers for frost protection

Hi Light of My Life – You know how you get the feeling of how high you really are when you fly over certain things—like a radio tower or something. Well I got a feeling the other night—sort of a realization that it had actually been ten months practically since I had seen you—and it didn’t feel a bit good, in fact I felt rather panicky. Usually it just doesn’t seem that long, which is a blessing I guess. Got a letter from Mom tonight, she’s fine, and said she had read in the paper that they were giving leave & would you get any. Sort of a coincidence because I hadn’t mentioned that you might..

Hi Joe – I’ve about reached my low point so according to the Dorothy Dix I shouldn’t be writing to you and lowering your morale—but as I always say what the hell’s a husband for. Yestryday [sic] I got a letter from Peg Murray, the girl I liked the most in the bunch who went to Alaska, we had a lot of fun together since most of the other gals were on the watch and we were both engaged. He was an Air Corps man too and in India, sailed from Bolling on 5 hrs notice about a month after you first left the country. Any way he was killed on the 21st of February & as she says she doesn’t much feel like ever coming home again. Then Mrs. Matthews answered my letter today. She had a baby 3 days after she got the telegram. It’s a boy named R.D. Jr. It was a pretty bad letter, but I’m sure I don’t blame her for going to pieces. She’s stuck in No. Dakota probably for the rest of her life and says instead of 23 she wishes she were 73. I get what she means. Then on top of that you write that you won’t be home in July—altho’ I thought that was coming—still you could have picked a more convenient day to tell me. On thinking the whole thing over—I wish some kind soul would blow the whole damn world to hell—and I’d be glad to be among the missing..

This Side Of The Grave: Navigating The Quaker Plainness Testimony In London And Philadelphia In The Eighteenth Century

For observant members of the Society of Friends in greater London and Philadelphia during the eighteenth century, navigating the Quaker plainness testimony involved material culture choices that might be viewed by non-Quakers as concealing motives of frugality or blurring class lines or as violating standards of decency and propriety. This was particularly true of coffins, which were carried through the streets from home to burial ground followed by family and friends. On this public stage, Quaker coffin choices satisfied the requirements for plainness while at the same time they demonstrated family values and fulfilled societal expectations

Well Baby – The day felt just like I did so it rained like hell. I hope you are having a terrible time in Dayton & are wishing to heaven you had me there after all. Or else that you’ve picked up some blonde and are feeling very cheap at having been promiscuous so soon after having left the arms, so to speak, of your loving wife..

Honestly Darling – You can’t imagine how glad I was to hear that you had a broken rib. I mean just the fact that you still had a rib to be broken was so wonderful. Gordon came home with a rumor that you’d been killed. So Mrs. Blood called to find out the worst from Edith. She came over to find out when I’d last heard, and told me that (Gordon said maybe) you’d been badly hurt. I was a sick cookie for a while (Sunday) but Monday when I got to work I looked so horrible that Mr. Curran got the story & immediately called A.G.O. who stated that you’d never been a casualty or in an accident. That helped matters a lot, Watson spent a day at A.G.O. too, & found out the same thing. It wasn’t until then that Edith told me he said you’d been killed not hurt..
