dc.description.transcriptionSo Bye, Bye until we soo you Love Grandma. Broken Bow, Okla. 11-30-1945 Dear Son: We got your letter a few days ago. Sure hope you will soon be able to come home. Had a letter from Lois this A.M. She said she was looking for you every day, now, so I guess she is ready to come with you whenever you get there. She said Florence and Louise were going to Houston today to meet John. Grandpa is some better but is looking for you every day. Two 2 letters have come for you and I will keep them until you get here. One is from Jack Bradley from Raiford Fla. and the other is from John Dean Philadelphia, Pa. I think it is the envelope is torn some. I thought if I sent them you might get here before they would get there. We sure hope you will get here by your birthday. Grandpa says that we will go back as far as Lois and stay there until you come back. I guess he will change his mind though. you know how he is about home. 3 It is not cold here now cool enough to have fire though. We have had some nice weather with big frosts Grandpa manages to go to the P.O. twice a day looking for letters. WE hadn't had a letter from Lois for a while and he worried about that and if we don't get one from you when he thinks we should. Why he worries about that. I don't write to Virginia because I know she will hear from us in your letters and I am a poor correspondent anyway. Will be glad to see over 4 Doris and her children. Lucia was here yesterday. Since they moved she comes one day every wk. Henry C. and Joe have to bring their lunch now, so they have dinner with us that day. Pete is working away from home now. He works on the highway here and there and yonder, a lot of the boys from in and around B.B. are coming home now. Hurry up and come home we are so anxious to see you. Grandpa said he knew you would be starved almost to death. I have to send this off this P.M. and it is now 3:30 W.M. Green, Box 426 Broken Bow, Okla. Smith L. Green 45 Jersey St. San Francisco Cal.
