Margaret to Robert 29 Aug 1944

Aug 29, 1944[1]

Dear Robert[2],

Are you still in Hondo? I wanted to stop & see you when I went thru Texas but I was delayed on the road going thru Mexico a couple of days because the bus broke down so that I didn’t get to Texas until Monday. I remembered that you said that visitors can only come on weekends. And it was so hot too. It’s hot here in Miami too, but there is always a relieving breeze.

            Miami reminds me a lot of southern Calif. I thought I would get a job right away but it took me a week to land the job I have now as Hotel Clerk. Lot of the customers speak Spanish. It is pretty international. I like the work very much for it consists in meeting the public. The people I work for are very nice. I am living with a Venezuelan family. Everyone says I speak Spanish swell.

            I am expecting to get a job soon with an airplane company. Let me know where you are now. Love Margaret[3].
