Letters in the Mail by e. Caldwell
Almost everybody likes to receive letters. And perhaps
nobody in Stillwater liked to get letters more than Ray Buffin. But
unfortunately Ray received fewer letters in his box at the post-office than
anybody else.
Guy Hodge and Ralph Barnhill were two young men in
town who liked to play jokes on people. But they never meant anything bad. One
afternoon they decided to play a joke on Ray Buffin. Their plan was to ask a
girl in town to send Ray a love letter without signing it, and then tell
everybody in the post-office to watch Ray read the letter; then somebody was to
ask Ray if he had received a love letter from a girl. After that somebody was
to snatch the letter out of his hand and read it aloud.
They bought blue writing paper and went round the
corner to the office of the telephone company where Grace Brooks worked as a
night telephone operator. Grace was pretty though not very young. She had begun
working for the company many years ago, after she had finished school. She had
remained unmarried all those years, and because she worked at night and slept
in the daytime it was very difficult for her to find a husband.
At first, after Guy and Ralf had explained to her what
they wanted to do and had asked her to write the letter to Ray, Grace refused
to do it.
"Now, be a good girl, Grace, do us a favour and
write the letter." Suddenly she turned away. She didn't want the young men
to see her crying. She remembered the time she had got acquainted with Ray. Ray
wanted to marry her. But she had just finished school then and had started to
work for the telephone company; she was very young then and did not want to
marry anybody. Time passed. During all those years she had seen him a few times
but only a polite word had passed between them, and each time he looked sadder
and sadder.
Finally she agreed to write the letter for Guy and
Ralph and said that she would send it in the morning.
After they left the telephone office Grace thought
about Ray and cried. Late at night she wrote the letter.
The next day Guy and Ralph were in the post-office at
4 o'clock. By that time there was a large crowd in the post-office. When Ray
came in and saw a letter in his box he looked at it in surprise. He couldn't
believe his eyes. He opened the box, took out the blue envelope and went to the
corner of the room to read it. When he finished he behaved like mad. He smiled
happily and ran out of the room before Guy and Ralph had time to say anything
to stop him. Ray hurried round the corner to the telephone office.
When Guy and Ralph ran into the room where Grace
worked they saw Ray Buffin standing near the girl with the widest and happiest
smile they had ever seen on his face. It was clear they had not spoken a word
yet. They just stood in silence, too happy to worry about Guy and Ralph
watching them.
