In the letter dated March 31, 1930, Grandpa tells Grandma...
"Well, it's all over now. I went over to see your mother. She said that she thot we were married when she heard they had a shower on you but that she couldn't figure when, so I told her when. She said that she wished us lots of good luck and I said 'thanks, maybe we'll need it.' She didn't seem angry in the least, I didn't tell her where we went or who went with us tho. You'd better pass the candy and get ready to quit Sat."
Wow... there's so much here in the last few posts. It is so interesting that your grandma's handwriting changed so much depending on the letter content.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I wonder if eloping and secret marriages were more common back then. A great aunt of mine did the same thing.
THE MARRIAGE REVEALED! Wow! Scary step!
