October 3, 1940 Thursday

                                                                                     Thursday -

Just think, dear,
     It won't be long till you're here - I am just  beginning to study now and am definitely going to finish this lesson tonite.  I kinda petered out last night - I don't especially know what to do Sat. night - go to the Park I guess - Saw Karl today - he might go to Portland Sun., but I told you him you would probably want to play golf - He and Tony are out of the tournament.  I see where I am going to drink a "coc" tonight - I am beginning to get a little sleepy already - fine thing.
     We didn't have to work so hard at the office today and finally quit at 5:30 - First time in ages - I got me a windshield swipe - to the tune of $3.25 - which really broke me up. - I don't know why, but I'll be awful glad when you're here, maybe it's love?!! -
In a week we have eaten a whole box of apples at the office.  Soon you can call us all Jonathon's -
     Oh dear, I have to buy more wedding presents one for Lila and one for D.J. - That's the way it goes -
     What time will you be here Sat.? - About 3:30 or 4 - I think I might have to buy a hat of some kind - and I will have to do that Sat. - But I will probably be here when you arrive.  (That is, at home) - oh yes, and if you can please bring the books - There are times when I don't feel like doing anything else and can read -

     Je t'aime -

                                                               Dotty -


                                                                        Thursday

Hello, sweet
     Here it is Thursday - so now I can say only day after tomorrow until I see you - happy day -
     The day really went fast - I only spent about 2 hours in the office all day - the rest of the time I wandered about the grounds measuring and figuring out the parking areas, also talking to the architect and the physical plant superintendent - Had lunch over at the TB hospital, which was a pleasant change - Oh, yes, I am also auditing a class too - Mr. Couch teaches a 1 hour class fall term 4 to 5 Thursday afternoon to 4th year students, and he said it was OK for me to sit in on it - He also mentioned, and don't laugh too much at this, that maybe in years to come I might be teaching the course myself, which sounds encouraging.  Oh yes the name of the course is Medical Economics.  Dick Hill and Ash and a bunch of the boys are in it of course - and it is surprising how many medical students I know up here - many more than I know nurses - darn it - it is very sweet of you to let me take one of them out occasionally, but I probably won't - maybe - and as for falling in love, it's too late - I'm already in - and I don't want to get out - (will tell you more and more Sat. if you don't mind).
     So you have discovered the cause of the shimmy - remind me not to forget to change the wheels this weekend - and this time I will do it - I promise you -
     Bob Anet called me up today to tell me goodbye - in case you don't know, he is back in school again - mainly to get out of the army for a while, and ostensibly working for a master's degree - college is such fun - you certainly seem to be doing OK what with all those "A"s; guess you are just naturally a smart girl - me think -
     The damn little gadget on my car that flicks the light from dim to bright is not functioning, so now it is always bright, which makes other people mad - I am going down tomorrow and get it fixed - I hope -
      Too bad that Bat doesn't have room in his bed for me - but it is a small matter - all I want to do is get down to Eugene and see you - the heck with anything else - although I suppose I will have to sleep for a little while, especially if I want to play golf Sunday -
     May have a couple of passengers coming with me - a couple of gals in the X-Ray dept - if they ever make up their minds -
     Well my love, guess this will be the last you'll hear from me until I drive up between 3:30 and 4 Sat PM - and I won't even phone first, so it would be nice if you were there about then -
                                                        Love and kisses,
                                                             Bill
