Dear Dotty,
Have just read your last letter for the sixteenth time and it is really all right except a couple of the shorthand symbols are hard to figure out - anyway the general idea seems to concern kisses and I hope you are the same - so here are more for you too: [Ed note: some symbols follow. Tried to find a way to translate on internet but couldn't.]
You probably won't believe it but I woke up this morning with a sore throat - can't figure it out, unless the covers slipped off during the nite - Hope it doesn't get serious - and to think I've been gargling for 3 days - I will probably be better by this weekend, and don't you worry a bit cause I don't think it was your fault at all-
Mr. Couch got things moving yesterday afternoon and today I have an office, and it is very fine -
Have a desk, telephone, table, venetian blinds, etc - and it is very private - Am going to have a loud-speaker arrangement with Mr. Couch's office which is downstairs - When you come up this weekend I will show it to you.
Am happy to hear that you are coming up on the train instead of the jelopy - tell me when and I will meet you and everything - here it is only Wednesday - I am going to work on something that will make the middles of the week go faster and the weekends slower - anyway what I am trying to tell you that I am looking forward an awful lot to seeing you Saturday -
Ran my car through the Portland police testing station yesterday and everything was swell except that the left headlight is unsatisfactory - so the company is fixing it up and then I should get through all right.
Your list of things to do sounds pretty good - wouldn't be surprised if we took care of them all right - especially the one about being with you - or me -
And your suggestion about the cookies and stuff is a wonderful idea - need I say more -
Tony and I didn't do much Monday night except drive a couple of buckets of golf-balls at Lloyd's and then went to a show - also had a couple of beers - Tony walked off the next morning with one of my toothbrushes and left his - can't understand it cause his is green and mine is red -
At the present time Bob Vaughn and Bob Mosier are up here listening to the radio and making disparaging remarks about my writing this letter - but maybe they aren't in love - I know Von isn't - by the way, he was telling me that Dotty Lou Hanan was in Portland over last weekend and Von kind of took care of her - only you and I know that - Jane doesn't -
I would like to get a glimpse of Harkie's letter - would that what she said were so or something ---
Love -
Bill
