FTER BOTH MYparents died, my sisters
and Ifound a packet ofletters which my
Bette McDevitt's
parents, LouisLeddy and Norma
Davies Leddy,father Louis had written tomy motherNorma during the summer of1920. 1knew were married
in 1918.the letters existed because Icame home from school one
day, as a child, to findmy mother reading them in tears.
NowIknow why — the letters were written in the blush
ofyoung love,before illness, daily life, and growing older
ground away at their vision.
The letters were written from Atlantic City, where my
father, Louis Leddy, was spending the summer as a chauf-
feur for the Frank Samuel Love family.Myfather was 20
years old; my mother, Norma Davies, was 24 and livingat
710 Armandale Street on Pittsburgh's North Side, expect-
ing their first child. This was a precarious pregnancy —
three months after their marriage in 1918, my mothercontracted spinal meningitis and almost died. She was leftwitha double curvature ofthe spine and paralysis ofherleft foot. My father was frantic with worry about her.
Bette McDevitt is a freelance writer inNew Castle, where her parents moved in the'20s. She has owned two travel agencies and worked for the Thomas Merton Center,
a center for peace and justice. An interview withFrank Love's nephew, George H.Love,is available at the Archives ofIndustrial Society, University ofPittsburgh.

Dear little wife,
Just arrived inAtlantic City at 9 o'clock tonight. Icertainlymiss you and Iwonder how you feel. Ihope you are not going to
be sick while Iam away. Youdear little girl.Ihope you have agood time over the 4th ofJuly but no kissing games inthe parks. Iknow you won'tbut watch your mother.
[Myfather loved his mother-in-law and was jokinghere. Shewas a single woman at that time. Her first husband had died whenthe meat wagon he drove collided with a train. The secondhusband was a drunkard who boarded a trolley one day and neverreappeared. She scrubbed floors for a doctor and worked in a
Rexall drugstore on Federal Street to support herself]Iam going to try to get home sometime before the month is
up because a month is a long time to go without seeing you.Ithink Iwillgo out and take a bath now as Iam all dusty.
Take good care ofyourself and write to me.LovinglyLouis xxxxxxxxxxx

(SaturdayDearest Norma,
Iapologize for not putting down the date, butIreally don'tknow what date itis.
... Mr.Love was talking about staying here next month also ifthe baby gets along alright but Iwon't stay that long. [The babywas the Loves' three-year-old daughter, Rebecca.]Itested the Pierce Arrowout today to see how fast itwould
go on the new boulevard out here. Itis a dirt road, good andwide, and no traffic. Itwent 63 miles an hour, over a mile a
minute. That is pretty fast.Icertainly do miss you, honey, and every minute of the day I
am thinking about you and wondering how you are feeling. Don'thesitate to call Dr.Thorns ifyou get too sick.
... Well,goodby, sweet baby. Lots oflove, fromLouis

Cuteness:Itis raining here andIwish you were here to hear itas I
know you enjoy it so much. Lightning out over the ocean itis
beautiful. [Mymother loved rain and always went out on theporch for a storm, the bigger the better.]Ihad a nice bath tonight, also a shave. Letme tellyou about
the bath. Idon't have a bath inmy room so Igo to the bathroom
and find itlocked. Seeing a chamber maidIasked her about it.She asked me what kindIwanted, hot or cold, salt or fresh water.
Itold her hot, fresh water and she directed me to call the officeand tell them. Idid so. They then sent a boy to her withan orderto give me a bath. She filled the tub and called me andItook mybath. Some red tape. Idon't think I'lltake many baths. Ihope theboss willget a billfor mybath for about $3.00
Rebecca Frances Love, [Mrs. Love's sister] Mrs.McCurdy and[the Love's maid] Kate arrived today at 5:45. They left Pittsburghat 8 o'clock this morning on the "Pennsylvania Limited" an extra-

Dear littleWife,
Had a friendly little conversation with the Love family andthey suggested that Imight come home for two or three days in
the middle of the trip. That willsurely help some so dry up yourtears and begin to look forward to that.Idon't know the day butI'llkeep itintheir mind.
Mrs. Love's sister Myra arrived tonight fromJohnstown at
8:50. They suggested again thatIbring you up here butIthink it
would be unwise as on the Pennsylvania Limited train, the fastestone on the line,you leave Pittsburgh at 8:30 a.m., arrive Philadel-phia at 4p.m., wait1-1/2 hours for train to Atlantic City andarrive here at 7.
The Pennsylvania Limited is an extra fare train running fromChicago to New York in18 hours. You would be ready for thehospital by the time you arrived here. Too much riding.Up here,
one place, they want $20 a week for one room—
no board. It is
animpossibility, both financially and physically.Iwas out to Seaview Golfclub for lunch today. When F.S.
[Love]sees the billhe willhave a fit.FirstIhad Clam Chowder 50
cents, Roast Spring Chicken $1.75 (two small pieces), mashedpotatoes 30 cents, string beans 50 cents, bread and butter 15
cents, iced tea 25 cents, salad 45 cents, pie 35 cents and ice cream
50 cents, making a total of $4.75 for lunch.

This club is owned and controlled by a Mr.Geis ofPhiladel-phia, a millionaire who built itfor a plaything. He is very particu-lar who he admits tomembership.
... IfIwould lose you,Idon't know whatIwould do as youmean everything to me andIhope to the same to you. This tripwillmake us realize what we are to each other.
This may be a sentimental letter but itcomes from the heart.Iwould writeall night butImust hit the hay.

cents for each minute extra. By the timeIwould have told youallI'dsay ... a week's salary would be gone. O'Sweetness, Iwouldlike tobe home withyou. "Never again."

Itis terribly warmhere inNew York.Myclothes are allsticking to me. Went to the Rialto Theatre tonight at 42nd Streetand Broadway, but didn't enjoy the show —
too much orchestraand high class music. That theatre is right at Times Square andBroadway, ifyou have everheard of that place.
Mrs.Love, [Frank Love's sister] Miss Love, and a friend oftheirs went out for a ride this afternoon through Central Park,along the Grand Concourse and through Mount Vernon ... Inever saw so much traffic inallmy life. On the corner of34thStreet and 5th Avenue they have 7 policemen to handle itandevery corner has twoor more. The streets run every way. ButIdidn't get lost. We are going out to LongIsland for a drivetomorrow and back to Atlantic City Thursday. Tilbe glad to getback to the ocean again where itis nice and cool.
Inotice a lotofstores here that have stores inPittsburgh,such as McCreery, Speer, Oppenheim Collins,Hanan, Huylers,Bedells, etc. but Ican't remember all. [Oppenheim, Collins andCo. was a women's ready to wear shop on Penn Avenue;
Huyler's was a candy store on Wood Street; and Bedell's was a

Dear Norma,
... Ihad a talk with the boss today. He called me at the garagethis morning and complimented me on my driving inNew York.Mrs. AndMiss Love said Idrove around New Yorklike a veteran.
After he got through Iasked himifhe had thought any moreabout me going home and he said no, but asked me what day Ihad been thinking about andItold him Saturday night. He said hewould talk itover withMrs. Love and let me know. IfIcould goSaturday night,Iwould go tobed here at 9 o'clock and wake up inPittsburgh at 7 a.m. He asked me ifthe middle of the week woulddo just as well as Sunday as Mrs. McCurdy coming and so on, etc.They would like to have time to get settled. So Iwillarrive byWednesday morning at the latest, "unless there is a change inplans." Ifthere is much ofa change inplans, I'llchange some ofhis.
... To avoid suffering from the heat take lots ofbaths anddrink cooling drinks such as Coca Cola, and orange juice, and icecream. Don't eat soups ormuch meat or greasy food. Buy orangesand squeeze the juice out and add cracked ice -makes a deliciousdrink. InNew York they sell it on the streets 10 cents a small glass.IbetIdrank a gallon ofitwhen Iwas there. No sugar unless theoranges are real sour.
Iwas waiting for F.S. today and when he came out he said hewould drive the car for the experience incase he wanted to use itwhileIwas gone. Ipatiently explained tohim how to start itas Ihave done 25 times before and he got inand drove itdown to theAmbassador Hotel to pickup another man. We got there takingabout 3 times as long as Iwould take and he explained to thisfellow about me goinghome and him driving the car. They went
inside and came out inabout 10 minutes. F.S. said "Louis, youbetter shoot us out there," so Iknow how much driving he willdowhileIam gone....

MyWife:Mr.Love told me today that they were talking ofgoing home
in a week or ten days and that itwould not be necessary for me to
go home and that itwouldbe apretty expensive trip for me
home. Ididn't say anything then but thought the matter over
very carefully and later told him that Iwas going home on
Monday. He asked me iffor good, andIsaid "Ifyou care to payfor my transportation Iwillcome back. IfnotIwillstay there,"
and offhe went. Toldme ifIwas the kind ofa man to leave himstranded inAtlantic City, the sooner Ileft the better. Andall thisand that and so forthand ended up by saying "Think it over andI'lltalk to you in the morning."
Iam givinghimevery chance to do what's right and ifhe gets
stranded here it'snot my fault. He suggested my going home, Ididn't. Then he puts itofffor a few days and then says no.Ifhewants me back he'llpay my fare both ways asIam coming homeMonday ifIhave topay my ownfare and I'llbe damned ifI'llpayitback. He got pretty sore, but what doIcare.
... Willleave here 8:50 Monday night and willbe thereTuesday morning unless something very unexpected occurs.

Went out toMr.Kepler's last night. He gave me four quarts
ofliquor forF.S. wrapped inpaper. [This was during prohibition.]Icould not get itinto my bag so Icarried itdown to East LibertyStation and waited until 11:45 for my train.... Arrived inAtlanticCity at 9:40 and the bus from the hotel was waiting. Went to my
room in the hotel and wasn't there 5 minutes untilF.S. called me
to go to the golf Club. Quick work.F.S. had the car out once whileIwas away. The garage man
had to start itfor him and he went out to the Golf Club. When hestarted home some of the boys out there had to start itagain forhim, so that settled it.He won't drive itagain.
The waitress here at the hotel saidItried to killmyself at
noon today by overeating. Iwas pretty hungry. Ihad a bowl ofcream ofcelery soup, some fish, and roast beef withrice, bakedpotatoes, string beans, about 3/4 of a loaf ofbread, head lettucesalad, two dishes oflemon ice, twopieces ofcake and a glass oficed tea.

him $10 and ifhe doesn't, why, it's gone anyway. He sent me

getting pretty hot under the collar. I'llget allIcan whenIget
back, and goodbye.... Ihaven't been inbathing since before Iwent to New York.
F.S. told me before coming down here Ididn't need a room withbath as Itook my bath inthe ocean. Idon't care for moon lightbathing so Idon't bathe.
... Iguess Ihave bronchitis whichIwillcure whenIget
home. The waiter who waits on F.S. 's table had a bad cold andwas off. F.S. sent him some liquor to cure it.Idon't see him
sending me any....You knowLouis
Clours daySweetness,
Had the carbon burnt out ofmy car today and tuned her up.Went out on the boulevard and opened her up to 65 miles perhour! It would have done better than that but the road is so roughIdidn't have the nerve to see how fast it really would go. But thatis fast enough, over a mile a minute. It just looks like a blue streakwhen going that fast.

1920Sweetheart,
I'llbet I'llbeat this home.Louis
This was my father's last letter from this trip —home at last.
Myoldest sister, Lois, was born in a hospital that November. By
then, myparents had moved to 1706 Buena Vista Street, aroundthe corner from their Armandale home. Another daughter, Doris,
was born at home two years later, andIcame along 10 years afterthat. Considering mymother's health, it was a triumph.
Myfather worked for the Loves another four years. He
observed the ways of the well-to-do and knew what to do inlateryears when he had a successful auto parts business. We traveled a
lot and always "stayed inthe best hotels," as he liked to say. He
always drove a Buick or a Cadillac.Mymother's health continued to deteriorate, but inlater
years, Louis took Norma to New York City, up Fifth Avenue ina
cab, and stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. They also went toAtlantic
Cityand stayed at the Traymore, an elegant hotel beside the
Brighton. Mymother, wearing a red fox jacket and a black hatwith a veil,rode with my father ina rickshaw on the boardwalk.Louis had come fullcircle. 0
