Always Virginia 139

November 20. Mother, Dad, and I went to Springfield. I drove.
I got a darling new sweater. Mother did a little Xmas shopping.
Went to Sugar Barrel. Got home about 5:30. In nite Norine and I
wore our little sweaters and went up to Merrigan’s with Dot. I had
the car. Norine was with Shorty. Did I miss George?

November 21. Got the most gorgeous special letter from Eu-
stacia. Gee, it made me feel swell. In afternoon I worked. Mother
met me. We went up after Jimmie. Came home, went to bed. Guess
I’ll always miss ole “Georgie.”

November 22. Went to Church and Communion. Missed
George. In afternoon Mother and I went to see Dimples, with Shir-
ley Temple. Got his picture. It was darling. Made me cry. Missed
George at show. In evening wrote George a letter.
November 23. In afternoon Mother took me to the doctor with
my toe. He said I’d have to go to the hospital. I was scared stiff.
Took a ride. Wish George was here to go with me.

November 24. Went to the hospital at 8. Made me go to bed
and put an operating gown on me. I took a hypo. I was on the table
over a half hour. The gas made me sick. In afternoon Margaret
came to see me. In nite Shorty and Johnnie came down. I got a
letter from George. Sure miss him.

November 25. Stayed in bed practically all day. I was sick.
Mother wrote to George. I sure miss him. Gloria called up.

November 26. Thanksgiving. Thought I’d get a letter from
George but didn’t. Jim was up for dinner and Mildred was up for
supper. I was blue all day. Missed George.

November 27. I got a darling letter from George. He wrote to
know what I want for Xmas. Mildred took Mother and I for a ride
in afternoon. Went and got a Coke. Wrote George a letter. Miss
George terribly since my foot is sore.
