Letter 57


Letter # 57                                                                                                Bountiful, Utah,    
                                                                                                                   Sunday, July 14, 1918 10:30 P.M.

Dearest Henry,
            Sunday night we meet again.  How much I long to know what are you doing.  Have you thought of me today?  For my main thoughts always are with you.  Thank God for love, for Oh, how let makes one feel and live, and how pure love enlarges own nature.
          Went to Sunday School and meeting today.   Irene spoke.  She surely has a fine and wonderful testimony.  Mary and Irvin came down.  Irvin went back on the 6-car. Mary is going to stay until tomorrow.  Went up to Barlow’s tonight to get more cherries for Mary.  While there, I went into Stringhams. Heard Ethel Cook is sporting a diamond from Clarence Argyle.   Beccie Pelton saw my ring yesterday.  Said she bet it was Henry.  As if there ever would be anyone else!

            My heart is overflowing over and over for my distant lover.  Where are you?  Well, you are all right aren’t you?  For pure, virtuous people are protected, and you are the king.  Good night, ideal of my heart.  May God grant that someday I will be able to plant that kiss where I want it, for goodnight.   
                                                                     Love, Violet
