Robert writes to Janet (Summer of '58) #4
Tues. nite
Dear Janet,
I think I've had about enough days away from you. That full moon looks kind of nice up through the pine tops and oak limbs. Seem rather strange that you can probably see the same moon and still be so far away.
My sis doesn't have to be back until Sept. 8th, but I've about talked her into going back this coming Monday or Tuesday.
We went to town today and that took the biggest part of the day. I still haven't got around to visiting the old haunts on the place-tomorrow, I hope. The night is surely noisy with crickets here. Does Grantsville have any crickets? They make a rather enjoyable background, I think.
I'll leave this til morning to finish, that way I get to share the beginning and end of the day with you. At least it's kinda like that. Goodnight, Janet.
Hi again, Honey. I woke up at 5:30 this morning and went out strolling through the brush. I went over to the little creek that runs through our place (not the one I fish in usually) I planted some carrots and tomatoes over there last spring along the bank. The carrots are pretty good now. It's so shaded that I doubt if the tomatoes will ever ripen, however.
While sitting on a rock by a small pool in the stream I counted about 6 or 7 trout between 5 and 7 inches long. It's really a beautiful little stream. Very small though at this time of year.
I picked a few little articles that I thought I'd like you to have. (They'll be all wilted by the time you get them, but I still want to send them to you.) The lavendar flower is a wild lilac, I don't know what the yellow flower is, then there's a sprig from a fir tree and from an insence cedar tree.
I'm surely looking forward to the time when you are here to do these things with me. I'm assuming that you like to stroll through brush and timber and wade up creeks. I surely hope so, but I still love ya even if you don't.
Love, Rob
