Dearest Girl,
I have been very lonesome for you - every day and many times a day, and tonight I long for you so much that
words fail me.
It is very stormy out. The electricity is shut down and I am writing by candle light. Sunday morning I was
awakened to see what was realy a treat - good for sore eyes -- snow! I dressed hurriedly and went down town to get some films to take some pictures. I thought you might like to
see some of them and as luck would have it or else dumbness not a single one took. All the shutters stuck. Snow! Imagine!
The weather has been a serious handicap to my work here. It has rained constantly and we couldn't accomplish so much.
I was commissioned to draw up plans and specifications for that P. P. building at S. Rosa. It took me 3 days & nights to finish them
and I get paid for that whether I do the job or not. Of course I will have all the "inside" when I figure the job as I have been laying it out. Hope I land it - if I do I'll apply for
board and room at 120 9th St.
The wind is howling mournfully outside. Occasional large drops of rain beat upon the window frames. It is not a cozy patter,
nor a cozy feeling it leaves me. The stove is warm - yet it is cheerless to me.
The folks have retired. It is lonesome here, Marian; very lonesome without you -- 120 miles away from you. I am
on my last exile from you I hope - with all my heart. I want life - and love. Life - a cozy home - cheerful and kind. Love - a dear love - a kind and tender love - forgiving and
generous - faithful - a love of a lifetime -- your love.
I love you darling girl- I want you always - I need you always. I will make you supremely happy -- always.
Marino
