Hello, sweet -
Did you miss me very much, I hope, over the weekend - I was so darn mad at not being able to come down I almost shed a few tears into my beer last nite - but I suppose there wasn't anything else I could have done after the car went haywire - everything happens to me - now it's $12 more - don't know when I'm going to start saving money, darn it - and I wanted to see you so much this weekend too -
Listen, dear, I have been thinking it over and it looks now as though I won't be down until Homecoming weekend - Would like to come down this next Saturday but the budget objects - Golly, I don't know how I'm going to wait so long before I see you - that will be three weeks, which will be the longest period yet that we haven't seen each other - Wish you were up here all the time -
Have been doing some more planning and figuring and have a date all picked out - what do you think of the first week in May - and that my love, is absolutely the latest - so let me know what you think about it - That is just six months, which should leave lots of time for the things to do between now and then -
Have been having a fairly interesting weekend, even though it's kind of a letdown after yesterday - Played golf with Karl and Von yesterday - Eastmoreland - and this morning at Glendoveer - also I won - Last night Von and Karl - Glen Gething and Howard Eggleston wandered around a few night spots including the Multnomah Hotel Taproom, the Vancouver fishbowl, and the Coon Chicken - I had a total of two beers during the evening - was my least - so you can see my thought were somewhere else - could it be Eugene, no doubt -
Karl has a '34 Chev and he has also been having a little trouble with it - but it is a nice little job at that - I have decided that from now on I will get nothing but brand new cars so don't let me forget -
Told Karl to call you up today and give you my love - he also said he had a picture of you and me which I would like very much to have you send up after you look at it - I don't have enough pictures of you anyway - put a camera on the list of things we are going to get -
How is the weather down there - Today is just perfect - We were thinking of playing that tennis we mentioned last week, but decided it would be too much work - so later on Von and I are going to the local cinema and see "Northwest Mounted Police" -
Had a lot of fun at the office yesterday morning - about 80 students from the OSC School of Pharmacy came up to go through the Medical School - Mr. Couch made a little speech to them in the auditorium and I ran the projector showing a bunch of slides of the Medical School campus etc - Then I had to arrange for the guides and tell everybody where to go, etc - Also saw Chancellor Hunter and shook hands with him and asked him how he was getting along in his work - lots of fun -
All my love,
Bill
Was I ever disappointed when you said you weren't coming down - This seems to have been a calamity weekend and I was looking forward to having you cheer me up - It started off Thursday morning when Damit wouldn't start - even after being pushed 3 blocks - then I had to come home and go to bed all day - my couch came and I didn't and not sure yet whether I like the covering - my tooth hurts which means I'll have to go to the dentist and I'm afraid I might have to go to the doctor - It's going to cost me $25.00 to have "D" fixed up (no more second hand cars for me) - and to top it all off someone called up from the coop and was very high hat about their dear old typewriter - about that time I was ready to cry - but I do feel better now and see brighter days ahead. - Aren't you sorry for me? - Well don't be cause it isn't half as bad as it sounds - only I'm just kind of down in the dumps -
I've decided definitely I don't give a hang about studying and it'll probably be years before I finish what I've started - Think I'll withdraw from school Monday -
Do you know that it's only two months till Christmas? And - what would you like most for me to give you? How did you like the football game today - Just think - Oregon made a touchdown - I sat here and didn't believe it - kept thinking it was Wash. State.
Here comes Phil Harris and I'm about ready to go to bed - went to bed last night at 9:00 with a sweet little headache - So I really should have enough sleep - Oh yes - and I'm unhappy cause I've got another "thing" on the end of my nose - right on the tip - I'm so mad - Guess it's just as well you're not here - cause I'd probably be crying on your shoulder -
Been embroidering tonight and have just about finished those silly napkins and place mats - thank goodness -
The weather was sure nice here today - was it in Portland? -if so - you'll have lots of fun playing golf - Have you found an apartment yet? - Wish it were next year now - I'm gettin awful tired being cooped up here and never seein noone and never goin noplace - I'm going to go the Side every single night or soon I'll get to be an old mummie -
I promise - when and if you come down Homecoming I'll be in a much better mood - you won't even know me I'll be so different -
How does "Wobert" like the idea of being best man? - think I'll approach H.G. and see what she thinks of being bridesmaid if we have a big wedding -
I'm sure getting lazy - When I look at all my things thrown around I feel ashamed, yet I just don't seem to get enough umph to pick them up and there they lie -
And so dear - think I'll stop til tomorrow - maybe something exciting will happen between now and then - Hope you think about me a little and miss me a little - but do have fun -
Sunday
Hello again -
Aren't you surprized at getting such a long letter - must be that I love you - Incidentally I'm lonesomer than Heck - and I can't figure it out - Do you know I'd certainly hate to live alone all the time and not have very many friends - hope I never have to do it - It's only about 1:30 now and seems like it ought to be 10:00 - Yep - and it doesn't look like there's going to be a lot of snow this winter - That will occupy Sunday's for a while - the going skiing will -
I had 75¢ to give you - but I put 20¢ of it in my dime bank this morning - which lacks only about 30¢ of being full - And then I won't know just what to do with it -
Oh dam - think I'll go for a walk only I hate to get all dressed up without a purpose - Oh Happy Day -
How was your golf game today? - I have decided that I am going to learn how to play someday - That'll be a lot better than staying in bed Sunday morning - and one can get lots of fresh air that way -
Hope I get a letter from you tomorrow and hope you can wade thru this lengthy mess all right - And now I have run out of things to say - So hope you still love me - and remember I love you -
Dotty -
