Karl & I purchased your birthday present today and is it pretty -
He is here now and we have it all wrapped up -
Marge called up tonight and we have to hurry right up to her place. Doris is staying home from the beach so she can try on my dress. Marge may be at the train, too!
I am leaving here at 12:25 so should get in Portland at 3:45 - if the train is not late - from there to Marge's and from there ---------------
I am a well woman, In fact I don't think you will recognize me - and have I been eating - perhaps I'll be a little tub pretty soon - only I am going to cut down -
See you Sat. ---
Lots of love
& kisses
Dotty

I am a little confused by the address. He said it was at 14th and Harrison, but 1722 would be at 14th and Montgomery, and was torn down when they built the 405 freeway. I have records - I think from the Portland phone books or maybe actually from these letters - that show him living at 1722 SW 14th in July 1940, which fits with this letter. But then I have a note that on August 12, 1940, he was at 1831 SW 14th, which still exists and is in fact at the corner of SW 14th and Harrison. Joni, what address is on the August 1940 letters?
We shall see what happens when we get there....
