"Dearest
DeVere,
"This
is the last letter you'll get from Ruth Murray, so I'll try to make it good....
"People
keep asking me if I'm not excited, but I'm not.
I'm real happy & busy getting things done, but I can't see why I
should be nervous or excited now, when I've been planning this for 9 months.
"When
I told Mr. Sheppard & Mr. Rinehart that last night, they gave each other a
long, very, wise, look, & said I would learn a lot in the next few
years. They then told me about being
happily married. Mr. Rinehart made the
most constructive suggestion I've heard yet.
He says it has added a lot to their marriage that they always do things
together. He still helps his wife wipe
the dishes. A-hem!...
"Well,
paper's all gone, & I'd better get busy.
I'll see you in just two more days.
All my love to you, sweetheart--and you'd better get here,
sir! Can't you talk someone into coming
for the wedding?
"Love
& XXX
"Ruth
Murray"
--Letter
from my mother, Hutchinson, Kans., to my father, Protection, Kans.,Wednesday,
January 21, 1948.
