Detroit
Dec. 1, 1920.

Dear Lillian:

Well I was just a little a fraid of the flu so I told Mable maybe that I might go to Glasner’s for a little while but you can get a girl and live hight her, in fact its hard work to live low in Detroit I may call at your house any time between now and spring and if the good Lord does not know more a bout what I’m going to do in the mext two or threer yers than I do, he don’t know much. I’ll say

They say coal is short here I do not know how much coal the thupp [last word might be wrong] car co. has but hope they don’t shut down if they do I will half to fine and other job but that not the hard part of it it’s the work after you get a job that you get paid for, “how did it get that way” “well sleeping in a short bed to long” –(Ha & Ha) – (the-he)

You can lead any kind life here for no body known you and all this world and the people in it think of is money its nice to have lots of money I would rather be a poor white man than to half as much money I half to worry about it for money and Idealness is the means of ruin to many a man but the one thing people can thank the Lord for is that whisky is going or gone.

Well is near time for me to write to my wife them go up town and see the things to be seen here for life is to short to set around all the time.

Your until next time Carl Wilcox
