My Dearest Fanny,
Fanny dear you are a wonder. If you were here or I were there I would love you till you would say more and more and perhaps I would chew one of your ears off. Know dear your letter fo Dec 27th was such a sweet letter and shure did enjoy it infact all your letter are so dear and sweet but this particular letter was even much sweeter. Just like you deear.
Honey I received three letter from you 25-26-27 the one letter I should have got Saturday that was the one where you wrote and said Sunday between 7 and 10pm you will be singing and I just know what you are doing and this way I never get the letter till Monday.
Dear I just filled my pen with ink there was a time when one bottle of ink there was a time when one bottle of ink would last me about two year but know since I write so much it only last one week ha ha. I think I will have to buy ink wholesale at the rate I am useing it.
Welol dear yesterday I was out at Fanny B for about two hours her mother or Ben mother in law to be was not at home was to some meeting You can tell Ben for me and also say Hello. Well Fanny B is just as sweet as ever and as I told them I shure do feel at home when I get out there.
Fanny was telling me about Ben and you thought of coming with him. She shure like Ben some she is a dandy little girl they are dandy people and I know Ben will like them all. You know they want me to come out so often and I like it out there because you feel at home and the damn trouble is I don’t find time but I will get out soon because I took the shirt back it was too small. Understand it was a 16 size but ran small so I am getting 16 1/2. Honey from your letter you never got to see the shirt and I thought it was your writeing and sent from Coffeyville. I did not know any different till I erad your letter. Anyway it shure is a dandy shirt. See and I when we were our silk shirt we will not were any coat so every boady can see me hafve a silk shirt. Well it was about 4pm when I got out to Kahn and left at 545 pm for Taunte they shure wanted me to stay but you know I had to go over to Uncle Mike. we had a dandy time at Funte, Deitz was there, Helen and Dave Scharmann and Co, and yours truly. but dear a the table you were menshen or rather I wish you were here and so did Uncle Mike say the same thing> They all wanted to be remember to you dear. I gave Taunte one of my picture and sent one home and there is one on the way for you dear. I had the darndest time to get the carton to send it in. No one had them all sold out and I run down to Fulerton Ave and get some and when I come gee but I was angry then. I went back where I got the picture from and they found one and much larger one but I did not care because I wanted the folks to have one for new year.
