Dearest Harold,
It is just 9:30 Sat. morning but I have to send you a
note telling you we are all right. Alvin
slept until quarter to 8 this morning for which I was very grateful. I didn't realize how tired I was but we both
slept well.
We are going to have another scorching day. Already the water is pouring down Alvin’s
face like tears. He seems very happy
this morning tho. Altho he has been
wondering just where his daddy is. The
air cooler is apparently working very well, altho it is a little to soon to say
much about it. Reed was very tired this
morning & is in the bedroom now sleeping.
I hope your trip was not too tiresome, and that you
arrived in good time. After you left I
was a little worried for fear you would miss your bus. Give my love to everyone, both in Salt Lake,
and in Pleasant Grove, and know that I am thinking of you, and sending my love
to help you every minute. Kiss Mother
for Alvin & me and we will write again soon. Take care of yourself, and don’t let yourself
become too tired.
With
all our love,
Laura and
Alvin
[Harold had returned to Utah
for the funeral of his father, Alvin Emanuel Carlson]

Grandpa Carlson died less than 2 months before I was born. I wish I had know him. I would like to have known Grandma Carlson better as well. I know we stayed at her home often when we went to Salt Lake, but somehow I never really spent time talking to her like I did with Grandma Davidson.
