Royal's letter to Martha Sept. 10, 1936

Supt. Office, Thursday Sept. 10, 1936

Dearest Martha,

Mr. Lewis and I just got here. Time about seven thirty. It is somewhat unsettled here today. Windy, and dust in the air.

You will probably notice that my handwriting is somewhat smaller than last night. Well I just feel smaller when I sit at this desk.

Mr. Lewis and [I] went to town for a walk last night. I got talking to a man that has promised to give me an estimate on the cost of lighting our football field. Not to be done this year, but maybe before many years. You know maybe next year when you and I are here.

I guess I must ring off and get busy. I must plan two lessons and do some other odd jobs.

Remember, above all else I love you. You’re my sweetheart.

Love
Royal
