April 6, 1947 Sunday 11pm My Darling, Right on the spot as I promised. Am I not a good fellow to do business with? Wrote a letter tonight to the Dean explaining Ed's {Cordes) absence -- remember the wire from him as we were leaving the college? The boys have all come back. Kenneth (MacDonald) was here when I returned, and Ralph has just got in. Everyone seams refreshed from the vacation. I need a good licking for arguing with you tonight -- and you not feeling well. You see, more and more, the black truth comes out about the great Bostick. Can you bear it? I'm sorry. The boys missed the News story while they were away, and are now hungrily reading the scandal on my copy here. How can you be so close to me, Small One, tonight, and be so for away? It was a wonderful day. I won't subject you to the anxiety (of approaching footsteps) again. But it was all very nice. Thank you Miss Greatrex, These dpys are just too short. About the "help" I mentioned, Miss G. One wonders how ends are to be met -- since one stipulation of Dean Dudley's help to me was that I give up all "on the side" activities. I hate very much to ask for help, and would feel that I was "stooping", if it were anyone but you. Somehow I can not bring myself to be ashamed of asking any sincere thing of you. You wanted me to give you "warning". I will need considerable help -- will have to go on a strict "bud- get" if I intend to be out of the red by tne end of May. Won't discuss it any further until I see you. Please let me know how you 1ike "The Red Pony" and our friend Omar. There are a lot of passages in him that I don't understand, and I imagine that you will run up against the 2 same thing. I intend to "assign" myself to do a few minutes research a week to "iron out" such things -- and we'll un- ravel the mystery together. From now on, I'm golng Lo save all the books I can get my hands on -- for our library {yours and mine}. Does that appeal to you? I've always thought I'd like one ln my home, and I'll bet you have too. There are an untold number of things we can do for and have in our home -- when that time comes -- and most of them cost so very little in money: a lot in patience and choice, however. SSo few people know how to enjoy the small, genulne things. Must get to work now, darling, for tomorrow. letters through April 17, 1947 from another correspondent, January 6, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, February 19, 1947 (handwritten) from George to Emily, February 21, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, February 22, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, February 23, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, March 14, 1947 (typed) from Emily to George, March 23, 1947 (typed) from Emily to George, March 24, 1947 (typed) from Emily to George, March 29, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, April 5, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, April 6, 1947 (typed) (current letter) from George to Emily, April 7, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, April 7, 1947 (typed) from George to Emily, April 7, 1947 (handwritten) from Emily to George, April 9, 1947 (handwritten) from George to Emily, April 10, 1947 (typed) from Emily to George, April 15, 1947 (handwritten) Return to introduction. picture gallery Minnie Renzer Bostick (1881-1955), father of Glyn Bostick, Fort Worth, Texas, 1911.
