Sunday PM. 5/17.

My dear Sweetheart,

Regret very much that I could not come to Savannah this Sunday, so many things are crowding that I simply must get some of them decided upon while I can have a little quiet to do them. Mr. Townsend and I have been spending every day and evening on them and we can see some daylight but there are a lot of clouds yet. Mr. Rainwater left yesterday for Oklahoma (Dr. Bishopp had sent Laake up there on a report that 25 cases had been brought in from Mexico).

We did not get space in the Milam building, but are forced to the Travis building. It is not so good. R.A. will have to take bids for himself and he may get in some other building. For the time being he will quarter with us. Latest news is that the bill will be signed about June 1st. We hope to get the Texas men appointed by then. I’ll go out there ahead of Townsend & Mitchell. They will bring truck load of furniture from Atlanta. Some has been shipped from Savannah and is there now.

If I can possibly arrange it I’ll come home the latter part of this week. I need to go to Valdosta on business & perhaps I can get Dr. White to ride to Savannah with me.

With lots of love to the three of you.

Your
Walter.

P.S. I expect Walter White to be a real good boy and to take my place when I am not at home. The enclosed check is more significant than the last one.

W.E.D.
