Chicago ILL
Dec 5 1919
My dearest Fanny,
As this is Friday evening and got through working late tonight so had my supper. And a nice bath and shave and look at the paper to see what is the latest. The very latest is the coal shortage. Department store are open from 11am till 5:00pm and most all the shope and factories are working only six hours. Well dear I went to bed early last night 8pm and had a dandy night sleep and as soon as I am through writing I going to bed. Sweetheart it a good thing I was down to see you this last week ebcause there are very few trains running after Monday and those who are going traveling must have a good reason or else they will not even sell you a ticket.
So if you don’t get mail so regular you now why. So far dear I have not called up nobody and I don’t think I will get to call any of the folks till Sunday. The weather is cold here and Chicago had a little snow Monday. Honey how I hated to leave you. And you was in a hurry to get away from the station or did you not want to see the train pull out. I wanted you to stand there till I could not see you. But I guess you felt bad to see me go. And that is one reason you beat it around the corner.
Honey I told the Weil family about me being engaged and if cause the Dr. Weil seem alright about it but the old laidy and daughter did not take it so easy. I should marry. I told the Weild six years ago I had no intentions and would not want their daughter if she were hung full of gold. I never could bear here but I like the old people. Otherwise I never would of stuck around so many years.
Honey I wrote you a letter yesterday and one home to the folks. So I wonder when I get a letter from you dear. How is the dog. Honey you now I never care for dog but Jerry made a hit with me. How is your big little bro Richard? Ask him how he likes Sheets-Chocklet.
