Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, March-December 1941

1941-11-05 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 1

[Nov 5 1941 pencil by others]
Lloyd,
Some heater grief now. I'll try your method of drawing a picture!
[pencil drawn picture of heater indicating bolts, screws, top hoses, thermostat hickey, crack casting broken, lower part of heater connections]

The guy says "the upper heater connection with built in thermostat" is what I need. The metal he says is not the kind that can be welded. And he doesn't see how he can shut off the heater as the place for the plug on left side (as you face the front of the car) that would have been there if a Chev heater had been used has been removed and he doesn't understand shutting this one off. So, I can't drive without heat and want for you to come. But he said if I didn't drive much more, I'd not loose more Prestone as I'm below the level now if the car is just setting. If I don't add water the proportion would remain the same so

Saving...
