Hello-sweet -
Just happened to think that today is a holiday and therefore the post office may be closed before I get down there on account of it is now 6:40 and the post office closes at 7:00 so I may not make it and if I don't please forgive mo on account of I meant well anyway and I do still love you -
Have had quite a bit of fun yesterday and today - Was supposed to eat dinner today at my great-aunts' but that didn't seem like too much fun, especially since Mr. Couch asked me to eat with them out on the Tualitan - I figure I must be getting in all right with Mr. Couch if he wants me to eat Thanksgiving dinner with them - anyway, at the last moment they decided to stay in town because his young son was kind of sick with the flu or something - we started off with a couple of good stiff scotch-and-sodas, which is a good way to start. I think - After dinner I took Mr. Couch for a ride out to the Tualitan anyway, and it lasted longer than I thought -
I kinda missed not getting a little package of goodies from you yesterday, but I will forgive you if you promise to take care of that little matter soon - I know you are a good cook so you can't use that for an excuse -
Have had my exercise lately - went ice-skating last night and really showed some improvement - got to whipping around pretty fast too - then this morning went out with Von and played 9 holes on the toughest nine at Glendoveer, and I had 7 pars out of 9 holes which is not bad considering I don't play too often -
Hope the next two weeks go by as fast as this one is going - have a lot of fun planned for us when you come up -
Am looking forward to a nice long letter tomorrow -
Lots of love,
Bill
Hello Sweetness
Well, today was a very quiet one - we went out to Aunt Hetty's for dinner and stayed all day - Paul and I went hunting - we tramped around in the woods for miles and miles and got hungrier than bears - only saw a couple of jack-rabbits & a squirrel - but we did get some exercise - after dinner we all went to sleep in front of the fireplace - we are going to have to have one - and now I've got a beastly headache and it's freezing outside - Would you mind awfully if I didn't mail this till tomorrow - You know I still love you and want you here. I told Aunt Hetty we were planning to be married and she was very glad - I think she had a darn good idea before cause she started talking about my home first and then said we were going to get married weren't we?- The more I think about it, the more fun I think we are going to have - and the time seems to be going by fairly fast - (darn I wish my head didn't ache) -
I started on my baby sweater last night and it is going to be cute - I'll try to finish it 'fore I come to Portland - It sounds like Dec. is going to be a good month for us - We can celebrate our first anniversary when I'm in Portland the 7th - had you though of that?!-
And now I have decided to make a braided rug instead of a hooked one - Everyone has convinced me that they are much easier to do and don't take so long - Remember, don't throw anything away -
Hell, just thot - have to go to work tomorrow - Oh well, won't be long now and I can bid them all goodbye - I promise to make you some cookies or candy or cakes this weekend for sure = I will have time to look over some recipes, etc.-
Have you gone ice skating anymore. I think I'll try to go bowling some time next week - I do have to keep up on my athletics - And now dear, guess I'll go transplant a plant - a little something I'm nursing along for our hope chest - maybe if it grows and looks all right - It seems to me tho that I'm doing more talking than actual work - but, just wait -
I have got to go to the dentist again one of these days - hope he doesn't find too many cavities - keep your fingers crossed -
Now, dear, are you still mad at me for not mailing this tonight? - Remember, I love you and I'll see you the 6th.
Love & kisses
Dotty

Who was the great aunt? It would have been one of his grandparents' sister. Would that have been Hilda's mother or someone? Time to check the family tree.
Linda says Hilda's mother is the only great aunt she knows about, and that according to Eleanor she was a wonderful woman who stepped in and helped a lot when Bertha died.
