"It's
one of the hottest days of the past month in Protection--Climate is powder-dry
and the sand and dust infiltrate into tightly-closed houses. You may have a job of housekeeping for this
small apartment. When I'm here alone, I let it go. Mrs. Sanders takes care of the dust film on
Fridays....
"News
item from yesterday's Protection Post: 'Miss Ruth Murray of Winfield was a
weekend guest of Genevieve Jones, and visited with also friends, also.' [sic] I
believe that the quote is correct in detail. So you didn't come to see me after
all."
--Letter
from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Winfield, Kans., Sunday,
October 5, 1947, evening.
