"They were very much in love. A letter from the young husband to a friend, dated the following October 4, contained this burbling account: "Lots of things have happened to me since I last saw you and they are positively true. They all can be proven so I'll line them up for you. I ran away from home. (You can call it that.) I was married on June 30, 1929. I married a blonde - blue-eyed at that. I live in New York City in a one-family house. I worked for Franzier's Inc., which is one of the biggest fish companies in the world, if not the biggest. I have a fine position with lots of advancement and make fine money. I have no children. I say that because everyone thinks the wife and I are superhuman. I haven't seen Bergenfield for three months at least and to tell the truth, I don't want to. I am in extra fine health and oh boy am I enjoying myself. Well you know how you enjoyed yourself and what it means to get someone to love you and take care of you. I am not being sentimental, but that is the way I feel. I am happy." The letter recounted that "we have our own apartment" at 152 E. 124th St. The end of the idyl came on June 7, 1933.
