1104 East Chestnut St., Glendale, was about a 10-minute drive from Dolly's parents' home on 501 East Mountain St., Glendale. At present though the two houses are separated by a freeway.
Due to her severe diabetes, Dolly has stopped working at the Department Store and has become a "housewife". Though she does not mention her "husband" Lee in this letter, I assume her "we" here refers to the two of them. Lee is not mentioned anymore after January 31, 1948, in the set of letters I have for this blog, I seem to be missing the letter Bill Nevis wrote about the discovery that Lee was already married in the state of Texas when he married Dolly, and he failed to get a divorce. When she learned that, Dolly moved back to her parents' house, but reconciled with Lee in a few months and moved to Bakersfield with him as he promised to obtain the divorce. When that did not happen, Dolly went to court to get the marriage annulled.
