Lonesome

(1953 December)

Yes, I suppose you miss your old crowd. I always did. I had two bad jolts - one when my schooling was over and I left my kind and went off to teach in a lonely little town [Bear Creek WI], and again when I was first married and September came and teachers and scholars were going back and I wasn't; I was plenty lonesome. But after you came into my life I had plenty to think about.
