Royal's letter to Martha Sept 8, 1936

I just thought I would throw in a copy of the letter since it is on official letter head. So far he has used two different stationeries. Below the picture of the School at the top you can see "R. F. Rutherford Superintendent". In an earlier post I said he was County Superintendent but from this I would guess he was Springfield town / city Superintendent.

Dearest Martha,

You are duly appointed secretary to the Superintendent. You can keep the big book, write warrants, file vouchers and do a million and one other things if you have time after we have had the teachers over for tea and the Board over to eat Swiss steak.

Please excuse the school stationary. It is all I have here at the house. I have been out to Mr. Roy Thompsons house this evening. He is the only board member that lives in the country. I am sending you some clippings that may remind you of certain things that happened not to long ago.

We did not have school labor day. I went with the coach to two butts to the Music Day celebration in the afternoon. I danced a few times during the evening. I could not enjoy it. My sister was there and she and I danced four or five times. I listened to the music. It made me quite homesick to see you when I heard some of the selections. Martha , you can’t imagine how I miss you unless you miss me the same way. My life can never be complete until I have you. I surely wish you were here to sleep on my arm tonight.

Today was Primary election day in Colo. One of the newspapers are staging a big election party down town. I can hear the broadcaster now. It is almost 12:00 and I must get to bed but I'll try to get up to write more in the morning.

Up early, have shaved, dressed and am now ready for school. Mr Lewis is here and the Denver Post News reported is giving the election news.

It surely would be great to wake up and find you here some morning, but perhaps I am just day dreaming. I will see you before many moons. I am still afoot. But I'll not walk there when I come to see you.

I can't make up my mind whether to buy a car now or later. I have waited thus far, and expect I shall wait at least two to four weeks more.

Remember, Martha that what ever else happens that I love you. It would be great to see you.

Love Royal.
