handwritten letter postmarked January 5, 1937

Dear Lee, 
     The radio just finished playing "In the Chapel by the Moonlight" and now they're playing "Did I remember to tell you that I loved you?" so if I get something sentimental in this letter you'll know it's from the radio.
     Back to the old grind again.  It isn't too bad.  I had a rather nice trip home.  Got a little sea-sick.  Saw Mt. Shasta in the moonlight and it was beautiful!  Got here about 8 Sunday morning.  Went to a BY Executive meeting yesterday afternoon then out to Kettleman hills with some of the kids.  Tonight I've done a bit of studying and now I think I'll go to bed and get caught up on my sleep.  I hope you're getting plenty of sleep now and not working too hard.
     Rachel gave me a set of four dark blue glass sherbet and saucers (to match) and a white vase for my hope-chest for Christmas.  Wasn't that nice?
    My room is a mess between what was here, what was in the trailer house, and what I brought with me, but I guess I'll get it sorted out eventually.  Rachel says I don't have room for anything else on my dresser with your picture there but that's where it's going to stay anyway.
     Yours,
                   Bet
PS
    I want to tell you again what a perfect time I had during vacation.  As I look back over it every single moment was happy.  You were so swell to take me wherever I wanted to go.  I hope you feel OK after all the tearing around.  Tell your folks that I enjoyed the two meals I had with them also.  Anyway,  what I'm trying to say is "thanks a million" for everything.

PS#2
    I was both thurprithed and pleathed to get your letter today.   Glad to hear hat you are getting caught up on your sleep.  I wish to extend you my sincere sympathy because of your loss of Charity.  Is there anything I can do to help you in your sorrow.  Maybe if you'd talk to her real nice she'd return the diamond and you'd still have a chance.  I have no classes this morning so I finished cleaning up my room and took a shower so now I"m all nice and ocean.  Is Vera coming to Willard now that he has a job?
                Bet

Editor's note:  "thurprithed and pleathed" references a "piece" Bet used to perform called "Spittin'", which she performed into her 90's.  Who knew she was doing it then?
