Friday 10:00 p.m.Hello Darling:
I love you – It’s so grand thinking about the day when you’ll be returning. In the meantime, it’s up to me to keep busy and try always to be happy; however, I know you’re able to face whatever comes. I can tell by your letters that you’re enjoying the country immensely. I’m so glad – and say, if you keep on doing all that good cooking – pheasant, French Fries, and what have you – am afraid you’ll never be satisfied with “your truly’s.”
Finished my project at N.W. today, and am now going to do other work there; mainly handling correspondence and student nurses.
Aud. and I hiked down to Lake Harriet to-night – just a nice hike – about 4 miles round trip. Some youngster is reported missing in Mpls. – not sure whether he drowned or was kidnapped, but they were going to use a powerful light to-night in the water, and see if they could locate his body – we came home before they started. We really had gone only for the hike and then came upon a big crowd gathered round.
Sweetheart, I do miss you so, and long for your fond caresses and kisses.
Thanks for another wonderful letter today.
G’night Lover,
Love,
Bev

It would be very interesting to find out the outcome. I searched online for more info but struck out.

Agreed, Vince. I did some online searching, too, but came to realize that the whole story is most likely buried in the archives of the main Minneapolis newspaper. Field trip!
