Nearing Omaha

 Dearest Sweetheart:-

We were 45 minutes late out of Chicago – a man was hurt getting through the gate and it necessitated holding the train. We are about  2 hours late now, but the train is really rolling as I’m sure you can tell by my poor writing. Darling, the only difference time & distance make, is that I love you more than ever.

Your’s ever in Christ’s All glorious Love,

Willis

Out of Omaha

Sweetheart:-

I saw Verla in the station at Omaha. Don is going to try and see me at Columbus or Grand Island because he’s out on his run. Here’s hoping I get to see him. Verla was surely sweet and ask all about you. Well Darling, how happy I am to have you for my wife.

With All of My Love,

Willis

And chaps 3 and four

Sweetheart:-

Don got on the train with me from Grand Island to Kearney. We had a good visit, all though very short. He looks good and likes railroading. I’m very hungry at present, haven’t had anything to eat as yet. I would enjoy some of your cooking or mom’s right now. Crops look pretty good here in Nebraska. The cloud formations are surely pretty today. More later Dear. Walt(?), the conductor and I have been having a real visit.

All of my Love,

Willis

Provberbs 3:5,6

Sweetheart:-

I’ve just had a good dinner on the diner with the train crew. Walt (?) will soon be leaving me. It made me think of old times as I passed through familiar towns in Western Nebraska. It has surely been a pretty good day, so many beautiful cloud formations. I don’t see how anyone could ever doubt the Omnipresence, Omnipotence of God. The more I love you, the more I love and want to do for our Heavenly Father.

With all my Love,

Willis
